Place de Breteuil

The Place de Breteuil serves as a grand intersection marking the boundary between the seventh and fifteenth arrondissements of Paris. It is named after the Baron de Breteuil, a prominent French diplomat and statesman who famously served as the last chief minister under King Louis XVI just days before the French Revolution began. This space creates a wide, tree-lined opening along the long axis that stretches from the historic Hôtel des Invalides toward the southern districts of the city.
