Square Trousseau

Square Trousseau occupies a site with a somber past that contrasts sharply with the tranquil garden you see today. Before it became a public space, the ground served as a hospital for foundlings known as the Hospice des Enfants-Trouvés. The area once held a cemetery and remains deeply tied to the memory of the French Revolution, as it is reportedly the place where the remains of the Princess de Lamballe were cast following her death.
