Located at 10 bis, Avenue Trudaine, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, the Square d’Anvers – Jean-Claude Carrière is set on part of the former Montmartre slaughterhouses. It was laid out in 1877 based on plans by architect Jean-Camille Formigé, under the direction of engineer Alphand.
The square features a bandstand, which comes to life during the warmer months, and offers a remarkable view of the Sacré-Cœur, one of its main attractions.
