The Place Jean-Paul-Sartre-et-Simone-de-Beauvoir is a square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France.

History

It was named after Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, two French philosophers who were a couple.[http://www.parisrues.com/rues06/paris-06-place-jean-paul-sartre-simone-de-beauvoir.html « La place Jean-Paul-Sartre-et-Simone-de-Beauvoir - 75006 »], parisrues.com. The pair lived close to the square at 42 rue Bonaparte.

The square was named the Place Jean-Paul-Sartre-et-Simone-de-Beauvoir in April 2000.{{Cite web |date=2000-04-11 |title=Sartre et Beauvoir honorés à Saint-Germain |url=https://www.leparisien.fr/paris-75/sartre-et-beauvoir-honores-a-saint-germain-12-04-2000-2001308263.php |access-date=2023-09-30 |website=leparisien.fr |language=fr-FR}}
