Translation of the text on the sign: CITY OF PARIS
Square Alex-Biscarre 1964
This square bears the name of Alex Biscarre, councilor of Paris in 1959. It was created on part of the garden of the private mansion acquired by Alexis Dosne, stockbroker, in 1832. Adolphe Thiers married his daughter in 1833 and settled in these places from 1840. It was here that he wrote his monumental History of the Consulate and the Empire. Destroyed during the Commune, the mansion was rebuilt between 1873 and 1875, by the architect Alfred Aldrophe (1834-1895). In 1905, Félicie Dosne, Thiers sister-in-law, donated it to the Institut de France "so that it could be used for the creation of a modern library and more particularly of French history". Like the private hotel, the garden still belongs to the Institut de France which makes it available to the public, as part of an agreement with the City of Paris. This garden, with a lawn, is equipped with a playground, very popular with local children.
