Hôtel-Lamoignon - Mark Ashton Garden

The Hôtel-Lamoignon – Mark-Ashton Garden (French: Jardin de l'Hôtel-Lamoignon – Mark-Ashton), is a green space located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris next to the Hôtel de Lamoignon.

The garden takes its name after young British LGBT-activist and Young Communist League general secretary Mark Ashton (1960–1987), by vote of the Council of Paris.

It is now public place in the center of Le Marais,[2] becoming also a memorial to people who have died from AIDS.

The public garden was created in 1969, being a dependence of the Bibliothèque historique de la ville de Paris and officially named and inaugurated in 2018, on December 1, during Parisian events of World AIDS Day.
