Square Sarah Bernhardt

The Square Sarah Bernhardt features a prominent bronze statue of the famous actress, portrayed as she appeared in the role of Phèdre. This small park sits on the site of a former reservoir that served the neighborhood until the mid-twentieth century. When city planners converted the space into a garden in nineteen thirty-six, they chose to honor Bernhardt, who spent her final years in a house nearby. The sculpture depicts her in a dramatic pose, capturing the intensity she brought to the stage.
