Review:
Situated in the heart of the city, the Place Bellecour is the zero point from which all distances in Lyon are measured. This grand gravel-covered plaza is the largest pedestrian square in Europe and is used as a meeting point for the city's inhabitants. However, this square is strangely empty with no flower beds, seating, or other architectural features outside of two statues - one of which is an equestrian statue of King Louis XIV and the other a sculpture of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Although empty, Lyon's four major shopping streets feed into the square, and around the edges visitors will find the tourist information center, charming shops, plenty of cafes, and the post office.
