Place Aristide Briand, Square in Reims, France

Place Aristide-Briand is a square in central Reims, France, laid out on the site of the ancient Porte Cérès of the Roman city wall. At its centre stands a monument to the nurses of the world, inaugurated on 11 November 1924, designed by architect Charles Giraud with sculpture by Denys Puech. The north-east corner is occupied by the Hôtel Godbert, and at no. 14 an Art Deco building of 1924 by Constant Ouvière was originally built for a café with flats above.

This spot was once the site of the Cérès city gate, part of the ancient Roman walls that once protected Reims. After the First World War, during which the square suffered damage from bombing, the area was rebuilt and given new purpose with the inauguration of the monument in 1924.

The monument at the center of the square was inaugurated in 1924 to honor nurses who cared for wounded soldiers during the First World War. It was funded through an international collection, which makes it stand apart from most war memorials in French cities.

The square sits in the center of Reims and is easy to reach on foot from most of the city's main sites. The sidewalks are wide and flat, making it accessible for visitors with limited mobility as well.

The square's centerpiece is a monument to the nurses of the world, funded by an international subscription launched by Juliette Adam, with architecture by Charles Giraud and sculpture by Denys Puech. It was inaugurated on 11 November 1924, Armistice Day, and stands where the Roman Cérès gate once opened the city.
