Charles Aznavour square opened in Paris 

ArmInfo.In the VIII arrondissement of the French capital, located in the historical center of the city on the Champs Elysees, a square named after Charles Aznavour was opened, reported the French TV channel BFMTV.

The choice of this square has a symbolic meaning, since the Esplanade  of Armenia is located not far from it.

The decision to name the square after Aznavour was made by the Paris  City Council in December 2023.  Thus, the city council decided to pay  tribute to Aznavour, in whose songs Paris occupied a special place.  In 2021, his bust was unveiled in the Odeon quarter of Paris, where  Aznavour spent his childhood.  The ceremony dedicated to the 100th  anniversary of the chansonnier's birth was attended by the mayor of  Paris Anne Hidalgo, relatives and friends of the artist.
