THE place for kids. I love it! Bring ur kids to play and meet other friends. Playgrounds are free and clean. This is my favorite place in all, Lyon. I have taken a picture almost every day for a year, not intentionally but simply because this place charmed me.

Was für ein tolle Platz in Lyon. Es ist eine der größten Fußgänger Platz in Europa. Wir haben den Platz gleich am Anfang des Jahres 2023 besucht. Es war ziemlich leer. Einheimische waren nicht in der Stadt. Nur ein paar Besucher. Das Wetter war sehr schön. Konnte man den ganzen Platz ohne Leute genießen. Wenn man dort vorbei kommt, sieht man auch gleich in der Gegend alle möglichen Sehenswürdigkeiten. In Lyon sollte man sehr viel zu Fuß gehen. Dann entdeckt man einiges

This place is really big. It also has a cool stature. you can go for a walk there, but since this place is so huge. and on the square is almost impossible to find like a few a bit or bars restaurants. I guess there is just interesting when an event takes place. Pity.

Just a big, open square with a statue of Louis XIV in the middle but the view of the basilica is awesome. Especially at night. And the convenient parking underneath is close to the funicular to go up and to the restaurants and shops in the center.

For being the main square in Lyon, I have to admit it really sucks! It's empty, it's literally impossible to find any benches, it's filled with some kind of strange sand that doesn't make any sense at all. I don't really find any sense of the existence of this square!! The only good thing is that it is very convenient from a transport point of view

So disappointed!!! Christmas with NO Christmas tree nor any Christmas lights to be seen anywhere in the Belcour square and in Lyon for that matter, only the big wheel and half a dozen big balls were lit, nothing related to Christmas. NO Christmas lights other than in one street and all this during the Festival de la Lumière! Really? What a disappointment! Even the Festival of lights projected on buildings was disappointed in comparison to 7 years ago. It seems it has lost its way. The only one thing that was still well organised was the crowd control. For me, it is no longer worth flying in or traveling any distance nor to pay for expensive hotels or Airbnb's for that very poor show. I heard quite a few comments about the ecological mayor... my message to him, if you can't do a Festival of light with clean energy, then don't do one at all. Please don't take tourists for more stupid than we are.

You can find all kind of food. You May try PIZZA PINO and IODE Restaurant After eating you May drink something TONY`S Bar. You can walk, have a good time with your children, take nice photos, etc. You accros the bridge and visit old lyon. Place is so closed everywhere. Metro, bus station, taxi, tramway etc Both transition ways you can reach.

Amazing. Just needs additional Police at night due to small gangs hanging around this area.

A nice landmark but the reason of it being there unfortunately I didn’t look up. 😁maybe I’ll add details later

Der Platz ist groß und weitgehend sauber. Damit sind dann allerdings auch schon die hervorstechendsten Qualitäten beschrieben. Mehr Grün und mehr Schatten würden dem Platz wahrscheinlich gut tun. Kein wirklicher Treffpunkt.

lightening festival is just awesome. The city is closed and safe to walk enjoying the scenographic animation

It's sort of open ground with ferris wheel. Nice place to spend afternoon or evening. You can walk to nearby eateries or just sit there doing nothing... Monument of Louis XIV was covered with restoration work. There was some sort of historical information printed on sheets, but all of that was in French as expected. Nonetheless it is beautiful place.

They were tidying up from a marathon the day before. Everything was covered in dismantled marquees. The famous statue has been removed for renovation so the plinth is surrounded with boards and the statue is missing. This would probably be a interesting place to visit if it was clear.

Stunning city square which is accessible via a well run A Metro line. A fantastic place to start exploring the beautiful city of Lyon

Feels like the centre of the city. Great metro access, close to lots of restaurants, shops and bars. A must see in Lyon!

Well worth a visit on the Metro A line. Main tourist office is based there, and many of the important, pdestrianised shopping streets border on it. Good views of the Basilique de Notre Dame from here. Good seating and restaurants nearby. It is also a popular place for demonstrations by small groups of protestors, usually at weekends. Bring a banner with you!

Huge pedestrian square. Usually full.of people whe weather is juice and sunny. They have a diamond wheel on the square.

Huge empty plaza in the center of town with a large sculpture of Louis XIV in the middle. Occasionally used for outdoor concerts. Beautiful views of the cathedral can be found here. The location is perfect to access the quaint shopping streets and museums nearby as well as admire the surrounding building facades.

Check it out at its grandeur during the Féte de Lumiéres in December.

Lyon's city centre and home to quite a few historic buildings. Vast open area, well connected to public transport and shops of all brands and types. A must visit place!

(Translated by Google) The essential place of LYON even if there is not much to see there except the statue of Louis 14 on horseback. One can also see the basilica of Fourvière. Starting point of the main shopping street of the peninsula. (Original) La place incontournable de LYON même s'il n'y a pas grand chose à y voir a part la statue de Louis 14 à cheval.

Love the trees round the edge, benches on South side and water fountain. Perfect for hot days. Tourist office, cafe's & florist. Good break point on walking visits. Excellent art bookshop in South side.

Interesting square with plenty going on but extremely busy so not particularly relaxing - great if you want a safe, city-vibe perhaps. Lots of places to get a drink but only a few places (+ the main 'fast food' chains) to get food before 7pm.

A lovely place to spend time and have fun. A nice place for family. A lot of place for kids to run around.

A good place to hang out in the open. Has amazing views of buildings and Notre-Dame de Fourvière.

Good to see heritage areas

Not great but deserves 5 star

Good and crowded place, One of the best place in Lyon

Lively place. Nice to hang out.

Just a very big empty space with a statue of Louis XIV. At one end there is also a statue of Antoine de st. Exupery with the little prince.

Very spacious square where you can have a sit and relax there. with the view of the city streets around. The statue of King Louis XIV on the back of his horse is in the middle of the square. It is a huge statue bigger than real life scales. A lot of pigeons in the square here and there in case someone likes them or wants to avoid them keep it in mind.

Nice and big space but so pity when i visited , they are on renovation.

Lovely place to have food. 1st time we have been there and we did enjoy it. Personally, I think they should have more meals on the Chefs choices. It was a comprehensive menu in general. The food was lovely and the service was very good.

The middle of downtown Lyon. I was here for the rugby world cup and had a great time. Easy to get anywhere in downtown Lyon from here. I recommend getting on the Hop On/Hop Off bus on the north side of the square.

Great architecture. Lovely square. Catch the funnicular railway to the Roman Ruins. Cross the river via the little red bridge. Rewarded with grand views.

A calm and beautiful place to station yourself while figuring out directions or to eat a tangerine by the bins. Always nice people around to help you out and cute girls to pick up if you got the balls

Très belle place avec une grande en hiver... Il y a de la place pour s'assoire... C'est une station du métro A...

You can roam around the city centre ,grab something to eat . sit.and.relax on the benches enjoying the cathedral view

Great location. Lots of parking. Beautiful setting with plenty of cafes and shops.

A beautiful place to walk

This is an open park location to stroll around and see the sights. This place is especially beautiful at night, when the lights illuminate the area.

Relaxing and interesting place with refreshing services and tourist information. Close to local transport. Take a break and watch Lyon move around you.

it's very nice place in Europe.

Right in the heart of Lyon the square is one of the less impressive or nice of the "Presquile". You will probably pass by just to reach the old town or because you are coming from the shopping area not far away.

(Translated by Google) Known and recognized place in Lyon. Pretty, but personally, it still lacks a little green space. (Original) Place connue et reconnue de Lyon. Jolie , mais à titre personnel, elle manque quand même d'un petit peu d'espaces verts.

Why are others giving this five stars? This is just a very average, mostly unadorned, dirt square. Having lived in Lyon for over two years, I don't recommend any tourist to visit the square specifically except to pass through it to other more interesting places.

(Translated by Google) I don't like this place. On the other hand, it is historic so I owe it respect. (Original) Je n'aime pas cette place. En revanche elle est historique donc je lui dois le respect.
