En 1872, un marché couvert est construit sur des terrains appartenant à tà la ville. Dès 1919, le projet de démolition du marché est évoqué alors qu'il est déjà partiellement désaffecté et reconverti en bureaux et ateliers. La démolition est décidée en 1927, il faudra attendre 1933 pour voir apparaitre le square de l'Ave Maria, du nom de la rue voisine. S'inspirant des vergers Renaissance, figuiers et cerisiers à fleurs sont plantés lors de son réaménagement en 2006. On peut admirer depuis cet lot de verdure foisonnante, la façade d'entrée de l'Hôtel de Sens, hôtel particulier médiéval construit entre 1475 et 1519, sur ordre de Tristan de Salazar, archevique de Sens. Il abrite à présent la bibliothèque Forney, bibliothèque patrimoniale et spécialisée de la Ville de Paris, consacrée aux arts décoratifs, aux métiers d'art et leurs techniques, aux Beaux-Arts et aux arts graphiques.

En 2006, le square de l'Ave Maria est rebaptisé en hommage à l'actrice française Marie Trintignant (1962-2003).

city. As early as 1919, the project of demolishing the market was mentioned when it was already partially disused and converted into offices and workshops. The demolition was decided in 1927, but it was not until 1933 that the Ave Maria Square, named after the neighboring street, appeared. Inspired by Renaissance orchards, fig trees and flowering cherry trees were planted during its redevelopment in 2006. From this lush green lot, you can admire the entrance facade of the Hôtel de Sens, a medieval mansion built between 1475 and 1519, on the orders of Tristan de Salazar, archbishop of Sens. It now houses the Forney library, a heritage and specialist library of the City of Paris, dedicated to decorative arts, crafts and their techniques, fine arts and graphic arts.

In 2006, Ave Maria Square was renamed in honor of the French actress Marie Trintignant (1962-2003).
