Situated in the east of the old town, Place Saint Louis is historically one of the most important and affluent public squares in the town, and is still a popular tourist attraction. The square is flanked by perfectly preserved examples of medieval arcades and merchants’ houses that were built between the 14th Century and the 16th Century. A stroll through this square is like taking a step back in time and experiencing a little of how it might have been to live many hundreds of years ago.
