Who was this Abbé Georges Hénocque? We are standing here at Place de l’Abbé Georges Hénocque. It’s a place with a story to tell. The square received its current name in 1968. It honors Abbé Georges Hénocque, a chaplain and resistance fighter during World War II. Before 1968, this square was known as “Place des Peupliers”. This previous name might sound more romantic. However Abbé Hénocque’s bravery earned him this tribute. Imagine this peaceful square during the turmoil of war. Abbé Hénocque, a beacon of hope, served the community. He fought for freedom and justice. Here at Place de l’Abbé Georges Hénocque, his spirit lives on. The square stands as a testament to his courage and sacrifice. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the tranquility. Let’s remember those who shaped history with their bravery.
