context_page_description: Nicolas Roze, better known as Chevalier Roze was a French aristocrat. He is remembered for his heroism in 1720 during the Great Plague of Marseille.
context_section_description: The name of Roze was given in his honour to
  a street in the 2e arrondissement of Marseille ;
  the Southern turn of stade Vélodrome, in Marseille.
  In 1886, a bronze bust by Jean-Baptiste Hugues (1849-1930) was installed on Esplanade de la Tourette. It was moved behind Vieux-Port at rue de la Loge in 1936, moved again after the Second World War to place Fontaine Rouvier, and then to île de Ratonneau, in the yard of Hôpital Caroline which used to host quarantined travellers. In March 2017, the bust was restored to its original setting on Esplanade de la Tourette.
  Roze is mentioned by Victor Hugo in Les Misérables.
