Place Charles Digeon

Place Charles Digeon centers on a bronze statue of a soldier in a World War One uniform, his hand resting on the shoulder of a young boy holding a wreath. This memorial honors the dead of Saint-Mandé from the Great War, but the square takes its name from Charles Digeon. He served as the mayor of this town from nineteen oh eight until nineteen nineteen, leading the community through the hardest years of the conflict while managing the local hospital arrivals from the nearby front lines.
