square Hélène-Boucher

The Square Hélène-Boucher occupies a space near the former line of the Thiers wall fortifications, which once encircled Paris until the mid-twentieth century. This public garden is identified by a central water basin, surrounded by beds of heather-family plants and roses. It sits in the thirteenth arrondissement, providing a transition between the dense city streets and the southern edge of the capital near the Porte d'Italie.
