The Place Jean-Paul-Sartre-et-Simone-de-Beauvoir is a square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France.

History

[edit]

It was named after Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, two French philosophers who were a couple.[1] The pair lived close to the square at 42 rue Bonaparte.

The square was named the Place Jean-Paul-Sartre-et-Simone-de-Beauvoir in April 2000.[2]

This is one of the few squares in Paris to be officially named after a couple, like the Place Louise-Catherine-Breslau-et-Madeleine-Zillhardt and the Allée Claude-Cahun-Marcel-Moore, which is also situated in the 6th.

Access

[edit]

Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Paris Métro) has access on the street.
