The Place du Jeu de Balle is defined by the uneven cobblestones that cover the broad, rectangular expanse of this Marolles square. Since its creation in eighteen fifty-three, the space has been a fixed point for the neighborhood, though its purpose has shifted across the decades. It was first designed as a dedicated field for *balle pelote*, a traditional ball game similar to handball that was widely popular among nineteenth-century residents.
