En quelques mots
La place du Marronnier est située à mi-pente de la colline. Elle doit son nom au superbe marronnier qui l'ombrage. À noter la présence de deux tilleuls, un calvaire, une statue de vierge noire et un jardin clos de murs. La statue de la vierge noire marque l'emplacement de l'ancienne église qi fut construite en 1197 et démolie en 1844. Cette statue en fonte a été réalisée par la maison Daurenne. Grâce à ses étroites collaborations avec des artistes de nenoms tels que Auguste Bartholdi, Emmanuel Frémiet, il va rapidement tenir une place importante dans la fonte d'art française.
