Located near the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, which can be accessed from a huge staircase in the square, the Square Jean Perrin is part of the Jardins des Champs-Elysées, where it adjoins the Jardin de la Nouvelle-France.
This archetypal French-style garden dotted with flowering shrubs is an invitation to kick back and relax on benches around the magnificent pool in the centre of the square on summer days.
The square is named after French chemist and politician Jean Perrin, who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1926.
