Esplanade created in the early century on the site of Château Trompette

Created at the beginning of the 19th century on the site of the Trompette castle, the Quinconces esplanade slopes gently down towards the Garonne. The 12 hectares surface area makes it one of the largest squares in Europe, hosting events, concerts, circuses and fairs. At the heart of the square is the Monument aux Girondins, built between 1894 and 1902 in memory of the deputies of the Revolution. On either side of this column, two basins take place with dazzling sculptures called The Triumph of the Republic and the Triumph of the Concord.

L'esplanade des Quinconces est une vaste place bien arborée. C'est d'ailleurs la plus grande place de France. En octobre, on y retrouve notamment la Foire des Plaisirs, une grande fête foraine, qui s'y installe.

Difficile à distinguer début novembre : une foire du trône géante y est installée jusqu'au 4.
Mais la fête y bat son plein

C'est une grande place où l'on peut voir 2 belles fontaines avec de belles statues.
Toutefois, il est regrettable que cette place soit mal entretenue.

Certes il y a les arbres en quinconces, mais pour moi c'est le monument aux Girondins qui m'a occupé une grande partie du temps (Photographies sous toutes les coutures de l'ensemble de ces sculptures remarquables : le triomphe de la République & le triomphe de la Concorde)

Au centre de l'hémicycle des Quinconces occupé de Janvier à mi-février par les cirque Gruss s'élèvent le monument des Girondins de 1895 et la statue de la Liberté brisant ses chaînes. Sur le bord du quai, une colonne rostrale rappelle la vocation maritime de Bordeaux.
