A pleasant enough square with a dramatic main fountain (+others that weren't operating in May). BUT nowhere to sit (well, the edge of the fountain and some cafes). A good place to admire the facade of the Hotel du Ville.

The fountain with 4 horses racing towards the ocean look magnificent. In my opinion it could even rival the Trevi Fountain in Room except to a smaller scale. The square is big and the views of the surrounding buildings are attractive. It is worth a look.

This public square adjoins the city hall. There is an enormous fountain, lots of restaurants and shops. Worth a stop when strolling in Lyon.

this is a huge square with the fountain, town hall, art museum and some shops surrounding the square. We went in March and the square was empty, nothing going on but the architecture is worth a visit. You can have a lunch outside in the square, relax on the steps of the town hall, visit the Museum Beaux Arts or... More

There is a fountain with a great sculpture of huge horses, and the Town Hall building, some restaurants and bars.

Saw an amazing light show here during the Lyon Light Festival, projected simultaneously onto 3 buildings on 3 sides of the square.

The square was very nice, especially at night when we went. The architecture and surroundings (especially the fountain) were amazing, and enhanced by the lighting. A very nice walk around!

so, great spot to see and be seen in the city. Plenty of nice shops around, quiet stroll, very well located, nice at night.

This is a very lively area of Lyon with lots of bars, restaurants and the traditional Lyonnaise Bouchons which serve things like pigs' trotters, tripe, kidneys and black pudding dishes. We tried lots of them!
