Presumably Square Phillips is its only official name these days. Just be happy you get to keep ‘square’ 😉

Yeah, Square Phillips is the legit name. The street next to it is rue du Square-Phillips. The website is http://www.squarephillips.com/

Somehow I’m hardened to “Square Victoria” because it’s the name of the metro station, but Square Phillips just sounds silly (when used in English).

@Thomas ‘square’ is actually a French word! From the old French esquare. It was adopted into English after the Norman conquest.

And it’s also Square St-Louis, not Carre St-Louis, officially.

@DeWolf that is very interesting! I try to keep on top of my English words derived from French, but I wasn’t aware of that one (even though I remember hearing the word ‘square’ used in a French New Wave film from the sixties).
