Description

Charles de Gaulle Square is considered unique because it remained the last important square in the capital that preserved the paving with cubic stone, specific to the interwar period. After 1989, it was considered that the square needed a new name, so in the background of the traditional Romanian-French friendship, the Aviatorilor Square was renamed the Charles de Gaulle Square, former president of France and an important figure of the French Resistance during the Nazi occupation. Near Charles de Gaulle Square you can find Herăstrău Park and a few hundred metres to the west from the northwest of the square, is located Arcul de Triumf.
