Description

Square Albert-Schweitzer: A Green Space Honoring a Nobel Laureate

Situated in the 4th arrondissement, near the Cité Internationale des Arts, Square Albert-Schweitzer is a French garden created in 1968 that retains the spirit of the Marais district. This garden features a playground shaded by yews and poplars, offering a pleasant environment for children to play. The square is named in honor of Albert Schweitzer, a missionary doctor and Nobel Peace Prize winner. The atmosphere is described as a peaceful green setting in the heart of Paris, providing a welcome escape. The garden also includes lawns adorned with flowers, shrubs, and flowerbeds, as well as tree-lined walkways. While not as large or elaborate as some of the other parks, Square Albert-Schweitzer offers a charming neighborhood green space with a playground for local families and visitors.
