SQUARES AND PARKS
FRANCE SQUARE
2006
Located at the intersection of Sayat-Nova, Marshal Baghramyan, and Mesrop Mashtots Avenues.
As an urban planning node, it
was established during the Soviet era and was known as “Opera-adjacent Square.”
In 2006, within the framework
of the Days of France in Armenia, it was named France Square. On October 7,
2011, a statue of the 19th-century French painter Jules Bastien-Lepage was
installed at the center of the square (1887; sculptor: Auguste Rodin) as a
symbol of Armenian-French friendship and in commemoration of the 20th
anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Armenia.
