Place Paul Verlaine
Butte-aux-Cailles
Stair-stepped village square in the heart of Butte-aux-Cailles, home to one of Paris's only public fountains where locals fill jugs with warm spring water drawn from deep underground. Terraced cafés spill onto cobblestones, boules clack in afternoon games, and the whole scene feels miles from the grand boulevards.
