Darcy square, Public square in central Dijon, France
Darcy square is a public space in central Dijon with landscaped gardens, flower beds, lawns, and pathways connecting different areas. The layout includes multiple zones with varied plantings and several access points throughout.
The square takes its name from the engineer Darcy, who developed Dijon's water supply system and contributed to building the PLM railway line. The naming honors his role in shaping the city's infrastructure during the 19th century.
A reproduction of the Polar Bear sculpture by regional artist Pompon stands here, representing the area's artistic heritage. The work draws visitors interested in local art and offers a focal point within the green space.
The square is freely accessible daily and used by both residents and visitors exploring the area. When visiting, be prepared for seasonal changes that affect the plantings and overall appearance of the gardens.
The square functions as a central junction connecting multiple districts of Dijon while serving as an important waypoint in the city's layout. This role makes it a practical hub that many visitors overlook while focusing on the artworks.
