Square Saint-Denis d'Amiens, Green space in Amiens, France

Square Saint-Denis d'Amiens is a public garden in the city centre, laid out between Rue de Noyon and Rue des Trois Cailloux on Place René Goblet. It is planted with chestnut trees, one of them 150 years old and listed as a remarkable tree, along with perennial plants and lawns, and a fountain completes the ornamentation. At its centre, an inclined iron ring 12 metres in diameter, Le Ring by Albert Hirsch, was re-erected in 2012.

The site was originally a monastery garden and later became a cemetery in the 14th century. It closed in 1791 and was gradually transformed into a public garden, designed in 1839 by city architect François-Auguste Cheussey.

The square is named after Saint Denis and reflects its religious origins. Today it serves as a gathering place where neighbors sit on benches, chat with friends, or walk their dogs in a shared outdoor space.

The square sits between Rue de Noyon and Rue des Trois Cailloux, surrounded by shops and cafes, making it easy to reach. Benches are available for sitting, open lawns offer space to walk, and large trees provide shade for a comfortable rest during a city stroll.

Le Ring, an inclined iron ring 12 metres in diameter, was made by sculptor Albert Hirsch in 2004 and re-erected in the square in 2012. Visitors can walk up to the ring and see how its tilt frames the chestnut trees and the statue of Du Cange nearby.
