Square Suzanne Buisson

Square Suzanne Buisson is defined by a stone fountain featuring a statue of Saint Denis. This sculpture, created by Fernand Guignier in nineteen forty-one, depicts the first bishop of Paris standing headless, holding his own severed head in his hands. Local legend claims that after being beheaded by the Romans in the third century, the martyr carried his head to this exact spot to wash it before continuing his journey toward his final burial site.
