Place August Strindberg

The Place August-Strindberg is located in the Odéon district of Paris's 6th arrondissement, at the intersection of Rue Garancière and Rue Saint-Sulpice. It is named after the Swedish writer, playwright, and painter August Strindberg, who lived in the French capital several times between 1876 and 1898. The square was officially named in 2013 and dedicated on November 6, 2017, in the presence of Sweden's culture minister. A central feature of the site is a replica of a bronze standing statue of Strindberg, originally created by the Swedish sculptor Carl Eldh in 1905.
