Place Simone Veil

Place Simone Veil: A modern, welcoming space

The Place Simone Veil, located in the heart of La Roche-sur-Yon, is a haven of peace and relaxation. Covering 5,500 m², this multi-purpose space harmoniously combines modernity and history, offering visitors a place to meet and contemplate.

The square's three major landmarks include the Monument aux Morts, a tribute to the sacrifices of our elders, and the bust of Simone Veil, an emblematic figure in contemporary history and in the fight for women's rights. A stele in memory of the Yonnais who died in 1870 and 1871 also serves as a reminder of the importance of the duty to remember.

In addition to its historical role, the square is also a place for relaxation and leisure. The 12 water fountains provide freshness and serenity, creating a pleasant atmosphere, ideal for relaxation or entertainment. For the more active, 3 trampolines offer a fun and dynamic moment for young and old.

Visitors can also take advantage of 6 deckchairs and 5 armchairs, strategically placed for relaxing in the sun or shade, in complete tranquillity. For a convivial moment, 2 "mange-debouts" are available to share a quick meal or chat over a drink.

Whether you're looking for relaxation, culture or leisure, the Place Simone Veil offers a pleasant and accessible setting, while honouring the memory of the great moments in our town's history.
