Review & FAQ:
One of the largest city squares in Europe, Place des Quinconces is a 12-hectare open public space that was designed to celebrate the actions of the Gironde political group during the French Revolution. Laid out in 1820 on the site of Château Trompette, the space is home to the Monument aux Girondins with its rampaging bronze horses, fountains and statue of liberty. The square also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, ranging from concerts, performances, rallies, and festivals.
