Description
The square is large corner of two picturesque Montmartre streets, Rue Girardon and Rue de l'Abreuvoir. Rue Girardon spreads from south to the north and it connects with the Rue de l'Abreuvoir. From that point, Rue de l'Abreuvoir spreads in direction west–east, a configuration that makes an L-shaped street.
Dalida Square is a modest plateau, 19 metres long and 13 metres wide. It is completely surrounded by houses with infield gardens so the whole view on the square is idyllic.
Three trees surround the main attraction, the bronze bust. Placed on the five blocks of nicely cut granite stones, the bust reflects Dalida with her distinct look. The bust is bronze and natural sized and was sculpted by the French artist Aslan.
Looking with the bust's eyes, you have a view on a Rue de l'Abreuvoir. In the far background of view the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur is well seen.
On the highest stone block on the statue, one underneath the bust, there is an engraved plague saying; "YOLANDA GIGLIOTTI, dite DALIDA, chanteuse comédienne, 1933-1987" (eng. "YOLANDA GIGLIOTTI, known as DALIDA, singer actress, 1933-1987")
Place Dalida is the square of Montmartre, Paris, dedicated to French music icon Dalida. Many fans and tourists visit to pay tribute to the French icon.
