Paris Square (Hebrew: כיכר פריז, Kikar Pariz, also called: France Square = Kikar Tzarfat) is a town square in Jerusalem. The name France Square was established in 1959. In 2007 the city of Paris gave Jerusalem a "French Fountain" that was built in the middle of the square. From that time the square has been called: "Paris Square".^[1]

The square is near the residence of former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and has been the site of numerous protests against him and his policies.^[2]^[3]
