A little history!
La Roche-sur-Yon was founded by decree on May 25, 1084 by Emperor Napoleon 1st.
But long before that, there is ample evidence that the town’s existence dates back to the historical period.
During the French Revolution, the town was destroyed.
It was then that Napoleon decided to turn it into a “new town”, with the peculiarity that its geometric plan resembled a pentagon.
The Place Napoléon was erected in the center of the town as a mark of its founder.
