When the Hospital de la Charite was demolished in the early 1930s, a gap was opened up in the urban landscape at the heart of Lyon. This charming square was laid out in 1934, and quickly became one of the most popular places for locals and tourists to gather. Close to the banks of the River Rhone, the square offers beautiful vies of some of the most charming buildings in the city, as well as being home to a fine collection of bars and cafes to while away the hours in.
