Place de l'iris

This square, lined with high modern buildings, is an emblematic place of La Défense. It takes its name from the huge sculpture "Le Moretti" representing an iris, which sits in the center of the square. The Place de l'Iris is a place of passage for the workers of La Défense, who come there to have their lunch break or to walk in the evening after work. The square is surrounded by many restaurants, bars and stores, which makes it a place of conviviality and relaxation.

Since the 1990s, this square has been adorned with spring-blooming Japanese cherry trees. Between April and May, these small trees offer beautiful white or pink flowers. In autumn, their foliage takes on beautiful colors, yellow or red. A natural spectacle that varies with the seasons. A friendly and colorful place that will change your mind!

This space has been labeled eco garden in 2022.
