Rene Viviani Square, named after the French Prime Minister during World is small. However, there are just four attractions: Robin fountain, stones and appearance.

Locust Robinia modestly standing at the edge of the square - the oldest tree in Paris, she was more than four years. Royal gardener Jean Robin put her in 1601. Botanist and forester Jean Robin was a royal gardener with three monarchs - Henry III, Henry IV and Louis XIII, cultivated rare plants. The tree, which is now named after him, it was time for France exotic.

Chetyrёhsotletnyaya locust looks good for his age. Wrinkled trunk bent (it is supported by two special concrete pillars), with bombardments during World Tree has lost the upper part of the crown, but it is alive and still regularly blooms every year.

The fountain in the square appeared in 1995. Difficult to understand - these are the right words to describe it. It is believed that the theme of the fountain - the life and death of St. Julian Hospitable (Square is adjacent to the church dedicated to this saint, Saint-Julien-de-PWA). St. Julian, mistakenly killed their parents, devoted his life to the service of the people and was forgiven when warmed his body freezing leper.

Three pairs of figures on the edges of the fountain seems to indicate just that - support, compassion, and a deer head recalls the details of legend, which has acquired a life of holy (Flaubert wrote that Julian cursed them killed deer). But what does the figure of children at the top, if voznosyaschiesya to the sky? Here, in the park, the stele is the memory of those killed by the Nazis in Paris Jewish children. Child sculptor Georges Zhanklo whole year was hiding with his family in the forest near Paris, to avoid being deported to the camp. Fountain of his work - this is clearly something more than a story about the fate of St. Julian.

Stones, as mentioned at the beginning, caught in the square here and there. Once they were part of the exterior walls of Notre Dame de Paris, they took out with the partial restoration of the cathedral in the XIX century and established here on the other side of the Seine. Square is located on the waterfront of Montebello, just opposite the cathedral and the view of it, one of the best in the city - it is precisely the fourth tourist attraction. It could be a kind of attraction? Yes, if he at Notre Dame de Paris!
