In the Paris "Square of Poets," a monument to the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin was unveiled in 1999, created by sculptor Yuri Orekhov. This monument was gifted to Paris by the Moscow city government in honor of the 200th anniversary of the poet's birth.

The park, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, is near a metro station. In the "Square of Poets," the Pushkin monument stands alongside monuments of famous French writers such as Victor Hugo, Jean Moréas, Théophile Gautier, and others. It is a popular place for relaxation and walks, at the end of which lies a botanical garden with exotic plants.

The installation of the monument holds symbolic significance, as Pushkin, like many educated people of his time, was well-versed in the French language, writing poems and letters in it. He was interested in the ideas of the French Revolution and the figure of Emperor Napoleon. This is not the first monument to Pushkin in Paris: a bust was erected in 1912, which was taken to Russia 20 years later.
