Pl. de l'Estrapade

The Place de l'Estrapade, located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is a small triangular space situated at the junction of Rue de l'Estrapade, Rue Lhomond, and Rue des Fossés-Saint-Jacques. Once a site for public executions, it stands on the location of the former wall of Philippe Auguste, bearing witness to a history associated with tortures and religious tensions of the 16th century.
