The cast-iron gate leading into Square Ernest Chausson bears the name of a composer who lived nearby, but the garden itself owes its existence to the neighborhood's rapid nineteenth century expansion. Developers carved out this small green lung when the Batignolles railway line cut through the district. Ernest Chausson himself often hosted musical salons in his home just a few streets away, where writers and artists gathered to hear the latest compositions before the square carried his name at all.
