Square Jean XXIII

  Square Jean XXIII, nestled behind the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, offers a tranquil escape amidst the bustling city. Established in 1982, this garden is named in honor of Pope John XXIII, who played a significant role in the modernization of the Catholic Church. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll among its neatly arranged flower beds and watch as ducks glide across the adjacent pond. The square is particularly picturesque in April, when cherry blossom trees burst into bloom, attracting both locals and tourists. With benches positioned perfectly for viewing the cathedral's stunning architecture, it’s a charming spot for relaxation and reflection in the heart of Paris.
