Square du Temple - Elie Wiesel — Attraction in Paris

A beautiful, little parc in the middle of Marais that is inviting for both adults and children. With exotic trees, duck pond, benches in the sun, grassy area for athletics, and well-built playground for the kids, this is an ideal oasis in the middle of a busy city-centre.

All in all - a great place to visit for both local and tourists, alike.
