Square Jerome Cuzin

Classified as a Remarkable Garden, Square Cuzin is a peaceful corner in the heart of the historic center of the town of Auch.

This garden invites to a bucolic break, a cool break when summer comes ... The place inspires tranquility, many walkers looking for inspiration like to come and sit on the benches and removable deckchairs are available to leave room for contemplation too ...

Flower beds adorn this space shaded by remarkable trees in an atmosphere of meditation, accentuated by the presence of the old chapel.

The Jérôme Cuzin Center is the former chapel of the Auch seminary, the construction of which took place from 1846 to 1866, under the Second Empire. It became the barracks of the 88th Infantry Regiment in 1905 before being used as a military hospital.
