Why go
The square works as both a visual pause and a route marker between Bellecour and the northern Presqu'île. Walk around the fountain to study its sculpted figures, then look outward at the curved building line that gives the space its balanced shape.
What to look for
- The white-marble fountain honoring Lyon artists
- Curved nineteenth-century façades around the square
Useful to know
- Include it on a walk between Bellecour and Place des Terreaux.
