The square is the oldest planned square in Paris, established in 1605, and is renowned for its uniform architecture consisting of 36 historic houses arranged around a green central park. The design reflects early 17th-century baroque style, with elegant pavillons that contribute to its architectural heritage. A central garden with a fountain forms the heart of the square, providing a scenic and serene environment within the city.
