Comment

Watered by the Yon and its tributaries, the Riaillée and the Ornay (and its tributary the Soivre), La Roche-sur-Yon owes its current appearance to Napoleon I, who transformed a small town into a modern city, based on a regular pentagon-shaped plan and equipped with imposing public buildings (prefecture, town hall, theater, courts, high school, Saint-Louis church, etc.) distributed around a vast central esplanade (Napoleon Square).) distributed around a vast central esplanade (Place Napoléon). The city was founded by imperial decree on May 25, 1804 (it was promoted to prefecture of the Vendée on the same date, replacing Fontenay-le-Comte). https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Roche-sur-Yon
