This square used to be the courtyard used by the mendicant order of the Augustinian Eremites, who lived on whatever donations they received.
It is also the site of a Historic Monument, the pendulum fountain.
The square was given its current name, Place de la Nation, during the Revolution.

The courtyard of the Augustinian convent used to be closed by a monumental 17th-century gate. The rounded stone features at the foot of the entrance pilasters are guardstones. Their purpose was to protect the wall from the wheels of passing carts.
