Square du Vert Galant

A Little, Green Haven

place du Pont Neuf
Paris 75001

Situated on the western-most pinnacle of l’le de la Cit, Square du Vert Galant is a little, green haven stuck out in the middle of the Seine. Tree-lined and set below the level of Pont Neuf, it has the feel of a hidden garden, a place to come to sit and read, to find some repose amongst the pigeons and sparrows. And whilst you can’t quite escape the fact that you’re smack bang in the middle of Paris, especially with the pleasure boats trundling up and down, it’s certainly worth taking the time to find a shady spot and take stock. -Greg Blackman
