À propos du lieu

Square Cuzin

13 rue Guynemer, Auch

Gers
Occitanie

Public garden of 2,800 m² around the former chapel of the seminary, rehabilitated between 2017 and 2018 in memory of Jérôme Cuzin, former first deputy of the City of Auch. The development party was to create an island of freshness – with a recycled water source running in a pebble stream, the path being accompanied by foggers - within the historic centre, but also to arrange the slope section facing south with plants adapted to the difficult conditions, thus giving rise to a «dry garden». These two parts are connected by a transition and rest area with lawns, plantations and many benches and deckchairs.
