Nestled amid a cluster of buildings in the Pyrénées district, the Salamander Square offers a welcome green retreat.

In the 20th arrondissement, there are plenty of parks and squares for a stroll a little greener than usual, letting the kids play on the playground, and taking a breather…. So, meet at the Square de la Salamandre to enjoy the facilities and linger in a lovely Parisian square in the 20th.

On site, you’ll find a lovely play area for kids, secure and laid out so guardians can keep an eye on their little ones. There’s also a city foot court, a corner with exercise equipment, a foosball table… The square reopened to the public in summer 2021 after redevelopment work, and it remains a relatively pleasant spot for a family outing or even, to work remotely on pleasant days!
