Square Léon Blum

Square Léon Blum sits behind a tall iron gate, distinguished by the weathered bronze statue of a man in a long coat standing on a stone pedestal. This park occupies land that once held a modest private villa before the town converted the space for public use in the mid-twentieth century. Léon Blum, the French statesman who led the Popular Front government in the nineteen thirties, watches over the benches where local residents spend their afternoons.
