Richelieu Garden and War Memorial  Rue Richelieu



Behind the war memorial, built in 1862 and redesigned in 1956, the park has become a place for relaxation. Children enjoy the space offered to them for their games, and adults take to the benches near the pond to better enjoy the quiet.
Seriously damaged by bombardments, the original monument was replaced by a new memorial, the work of Yves de Coëtlogon, that unites the memory of the dead of the two wars in a single homage.
An allegory of Peace presses an olive tree branch to her breast.
Built in 1862 on the site of the fortifications of the old city, the garden was redesigned in 1956.
