Square Maurice-Schwob, Public park in Bellevue-Chantenay-Sainte-Anne district, Nantes, France.

Square Maurice-Schwob is a 3,000 m² garden square in Nantes, not a hectare-scale park: two straight sides meet at a right angle to the northwest, while the southeast edge follows the winding cliff crest above the former Miséry quarry. It is bordered by rue des Garennes, with a secondary entrance at no. 5 avenue de Lusançay. Étienne Coutan furnished it with his recurring 'Le Centaure' bench and a local schist wall.

In 1853 the city of Nantes bought the plot after the break-up of the Lusançay estate; the land was then occupied by workers' allotment gardens. The municipality declared a public square, and city architect Étienne Coutan planned a garden-promenade running behind the boys' school on Place des Garennes down the Sainte-Anne staircase to Quai Marquis-d'Aiguillon. The built scheme was smaller, required buying extra land and ending the garden leases, and opened on 27 September 1933.

L'Épave, carved in tuffeau limestone by Paul Auban in 1926, stands 2 metres high and shows a Breton mother before the body of her son returned by the sea, one arm raised against it. Auban reused the group for the war memorial at Péronne, titled 'la Picarde maudissant la guerre'. The square's name honours Maurice Schwob (1859-1928), Nantes publisher and director of Le Phare de la Loire, now Presse-Océan.

The square is bordered to the north by Rue des Garennes, with a secondary entrance at No. 5 Avenue de Lusançay; its south-east edge follows the winding cliff path above the former Miséry quarry. Since March 2020, a monumental steel staircase designed by François Delarozière links the belvedere directly to the Jardin extraordinaire in the quarry below. The ground is a 3,000 m² garden square with paths and benches.

The square's benches are the "Le Centaure" model, a recurring piece in Étienne Coutan's designs, and the boundary wall is built of local schist. Since March 2020 a monumental steel staircase by François Delarozière has linked the belvedere directly to the Jardin extraordinaire in the Miséry quarry below.
