Square de la place Adolphe Chérioux - kiosque à musique



Square de la place Adolphe Chérioux
The bandstand



This square is a work of the architect Jean-Camille Formigé 
and was established in 1896.  
It is a long, narrow green space providing benches 
and a play area as well as this bandstand.  
The landscaping and trees buffer the noise from the busy Rue de Vaugirard.



Although hidden in this photo, 
you can see the Eiffel Tower just over the bandstand.

Square Trousseau - un kiosque à musique


Bandstand
Square Armand-Trousseau


This square is just a little park off the side of Rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine, but in many visits, we have seen Tai Chi excercises, an old men's club, ferocious snowball fights, very fast bikes and scooters (trottinettes), mamas and nanas, children of all ages, boules, and ping-pong games.


When you go, do not miss Le Square Trousseau, a café on the corner, 
and Blé Sucré, pâtisserie (Madeleine, financier, pain au chocolat, and more!)
