Square Saint-Denis d'Amiens, espace vert d'Amiens, en France
Square Saint-Denis d'Amiens is a garden square in the heart of Amiens with tall chestnut trees, open lawns, and simple pathways. At its center stands a bronze statue of Charles Du Cange from the 19th century, surrounded by flower beds and a gentle fountain.
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.
A striking iron sculpture called The Ring was added in 2012, creating an unexpected contrast with the square's historical elements. This modern artwork stands out among the century-old trees and traditional monuments.
