Jean-Jaurès square, Central plaza in Saint-Étienne, France
Jean-Jaurès Square contains a central fountain, a music pavilion, and several rows of tall trees defining its layout and pathways.
The plaza, established between 1793 and 1813, was initially named Place Marengo to commemorate a Napoleonic victory before its renaming in 1919.
A bronze bust in the square commemorates Jean Jaurès, a French socialist leader and advocate for social justice who died in 1914.
The square connects to Saint-Étienne's public transport network through tramway lines T1 and T2, plus multiple STAS bus routes.
The Art Nouveau Condition des Soies building, constructed in 1910, stands at the edge of the square, displaying period architectural details.
