Edouard Adam Square, city square in Montpellier, France
Édouard Adam Square is a small square in the Écusson, Montpellier's old town, set where Rue Édouard Adam meets the surrounding medieval street grid. It is a paved open space framed by the facades of adjoining buildings, with no garden or monument at its centre, and it works as a short pedestrian passage between the nearby streets.
The square honours Édouard Adam, a Montpellier figure remembered in the city's street nomenclature. Its naming follows the French practice of giving public spaces the names of local figures, and the square appears on modern city maps within the urban fabric of central Montpellier.
The square honours Édouard Adam, a Montpellier physician and mayor of the city from 1896 to 1908, who also sat in the Chamber of Deputies. Its name keeps his memory in the street map of the Écusson, the old town.
The square sits at the junction of rue Édouard Adam and the streets of the Figuerolles district, southwest of the historic centre, a short walk from the Comédie and Antigone tram stops. It is a flat, open paved space with no steps, crossed by pedestrians between the surrounding streets. Market days and school hours bring the most foot traffic.
