The La Roquette Prisons (the Grande Roquette and the Petite Roquette) were prisons in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, on both sides of the rue de la Roquette [Wikidata]. Opened in 1830, they were finally closed in 1974. Today the site of la petite Roquette is occupied by square de la Roquette [Wikidata], the largest square in the 11th arrondissement.^[1]
