Square René Viviani

Very beautiful little jardin near the Notre Dame and Pont du Neuf bridge area. Its full of blooming roses in early spring and very beautiful flowers to enjoy your day sitting down rest after long walk.

A peaceful and scenic little park that offers a quiet reprieve from the busy city streets. Very colorful and pretty in the spring time. Home of the oldest tree in Paris.

This is a nice small park I went to during the Christmas season market. They decorate the center with pine trees and light fixtures. The market itself is very small, only about 15 or 20 vendors if not less. The baked goods looked delicious!

It's the square with the oldest tree in Paris. It's a colossal robinia, planted in 1601. It was planted by the botanist Jean Robin, who introduced the species to France, which is why it bears his name. For over 400 years now, the capital's oldest tree has been in bloom every spring. It now reaches a height of 15 metres and a circumference of 3.50 metres, whereas trees of this species don't usually exceed 10 metres. A concrete structure now supports this historic robinia, which has been classified as a remarkable tree. The romantic square in the 5th arondissiment is named after Jean Raphaël Adrien René Viviani (8 November 1863 – 7 September 1925) was a French politician of the Third Republic, who served as Prime Minister for the first year of World War I. He was born in Sidi Bel Abbès, in French Algeria.

Nice place to stop. Beautiful

What an amazing place! I was in Paris for a business trip and I had breakfast here (takeaway from a near boulangerie). This park is small but super nice, with a great view on the Notre Dame cathedral and nice flowers. Thank you to the municipality taking care of this place in such a methodical way. As I was having dinner there I saw the workers keeping the park clean (taking litter from the ground and attending the flowers).

Cozy park with the eldest tree of Paris. Nice cozy spot to chill down. Beautiful view on connecting avenues and the Notre Dame. Small church nearby, rebuild after French revolution and has neo classical facade.

This is a nice park overlooking the Notre-Dame cathedral. We were here during Christmas so they had an awesome Christmas market. The market was filled with stalls selling cheese, wine, oils, pastries, gifts, jewelry, clothing and ornaments. The square was also decorated in Christmas decorations for the holidays.

This is a charming little park in a five-star location. Unfortunately, as far as parks go... This is about as small as it gets. It had a strange central sculpture that I felt dismissive about. I didn't bother looking for a plate engraved with any description or credit for it. It just looked kind of ugly... Sorry, that's just how it came across. Other than that, it was very well kept... Located in an extremely valuable spot. Ok... So why did it get three stars? I'd say it probably would be struggling to earn two stars if not for the photo hotspot presented by the arcs of roses in circling the central sculpture. Yeah we were touristy in shooting pictures under those arcs. Yeah the flowers kicked it up a notch from a solid two... Into barely three stars. I should probably take it down a notch back to two but... We can leave it at 3.

This postage stamp-size park is great. Flowers all around the circle. Not crowded. A relaxing spot.
