Place Franz-Liszt
A small square in the 10th arrondissement planted with chestnut trees, Place Franz-Liszt is dominated by the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul church and its two towers. Its restful central garden is frequented by residents of the Bonne-Nouvelle district and students.
It is a discreet haven between Gare du Nord and the Grands Boulevards, named in tribute to the Hungarian composer who lived not far away. The staircase leading to the church is one of the district's lesser-known viewpoints.
Tip: allow 10 to 15 minutes. Combine with Saint-Vincent-de-Paul church and Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis, one of the liveliest in the 10th.
