Square Saint-Roch

About

The square Saint-Roch is a public garden located in the centre of the city of Le Havre in Normandy. In the form of a quadrilateral, it measures two hectares and is located between the streets Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy, Othon Friesz and opens onto Avenue Foch to the south. It is decorated with statues, water beds and a Belle Époque style music kiosk.

Built in the city centre rebuilt by Auguste Perret, it is located on the site of the old cemetery Saint-Roch, which in the 18th century succeeded the lazaret for pestification. It opened in 1868 and underwent major changes following the bombings of the Second World War.
