About
Square Léon Serpollet sits at 25 rue des Cloys in Paris 18. It is a small neighborhood garden. It works best as a short pause during a walk in the northern part of Paris.
Its value is practical rather than monumental. In a dense residential area, it offers a quiet break, a bench, and a bit of open space. Visitors usually stop here to rest, let children unwind, or break up a longer walk toward Montmartre.
This is not a major destination park. It is better approached as a local Paris square. That makes it easy to combine with nearby streets, village-like corners of the 18th, or other small green spaces. Square Suzanne Buisson and Square Carpeaux are two useful options.
For a smart visit, go in daylight and treat it as a brief stop. Dry weather makes the experience more pleasant. In warmer months, pair it with a longer neighborhood stroll. In colder or wet weather, use it as a quick outdoor pause between indoor visits. As with many Paris squares, closing times can vary. Check locally before heading over.
The Concierge's Tip
Plan this stop in the early or middle afternoon. The light is softer, and access is often easier than late in the day. Treat it as a short break, not a standalone visit. In spring or early autumn, combine it with a longer walk through the 18th. If the square is closed or damp, switch to Square Suzanne Buisson. Or continue toward the livelier streets around Montmartre.
