Place de la République — Attraction in Lyon

One of the most beautiful square in the second arrondissement of Lyon. It's incredibly clean (at least when I visited) . It's also part of the zone classified as a UNESCO world heritage site. To get your bearing around this square, Place Bellecour and Rue Childebert is just on the front of the square. There's three other streets; rue Jean de Tournes, rue Stella and Rue du Président Èdouard Herriot. I actually used Passage de l'Argue, a traboule shopping mall to access the square. In total, there's about eleven streets lead to the square! When you see the glass carousel, a large rectangular pool(fountain?), with benches and three storey buildings with animals and monsters on their façades then you are in the heart of Place de la République of Lyon. Welcoming, beautiful and suitable for all ages to relax, eat, shopping and be merry in this fantabulous experience that is Lyon!...
