Jardin de l'abbaye

The Square Lucien Beaufrère extends over 0.6 hectares behind Vierzon's city hall, featuring water basins, fountains decorated with doves, and circular benches.

Architect Eugène Henry Karcher won the design competition for this garden in 1927, creating a space that merged post-World War I memorial elements with modern aesthetics.

The garden incorporates a music pavilion with a domed stage and orchestra pit, where local performances and artistic gatherings take place throughout the year.

Located between the Berry Canal and the Yèvre River, the park offers guided tours through the Vierzon Tourist Office at 3 euros for adults and 2 euros for children.

The park contains a pacifist war memorial with sculptures and bas-reliefs, complemented by a 25-meter reflecting pool that mirrors the monument's features.
