Square du Tivoli-Tomi Ungerer

Square du Tivoli-Tomi Ungerer is a small public park in the Wacken district, north of Strasbourg's centre. It bears the name of illustrator Tomi Ungerer, a son of the city. A neighbourhood green stop, handy for a breather between two appointments in the area.

A tribute to Tomi Ungerer

The square's name pays tribute to Tomi Ungerer, the Strasbourg-born illustrator and author known for his children's books and satirical drawings. Anyone wanting to learn more about his work will find the Musée Tomi Ungerer, devoted to him, in the city centre. The square itself is a modest local green space, used mainly by residents and people working nearby.

A green break in the Wacken

The Wacken lies north of the city centre, not far from the European quarter. The square offers a patch of greenery for reading, lunch on a bench or letting children play for a few minutes. It is not a sight in itself, but a useful address if you are nearby, for instance on the way to the European quarter or the larger Parc de l'Orangerie.
