It was in the 17th century that a Place de la Liberté was created on a strategic site between the Pentes de la Croix-Rousse and the Presqu'île. In the heart of Lyon and power, the Place des Terreaux houses two emblematic places - the town hall and a former convent converted into a fine arts museum - and an equally emblematic monument: the Bartholdi fountain named after its sculptor (the same as for the Statue of Liberty). The square, redesigned by Christian Drevet and Daniel Buren, has been entirely restored but retains a "mineral" appearance.

Magnifique place lors de la fête des lumières, belles bâtisses. Les bars sont un peu chers, de belles petites places aux alentours

La plus belle place de Lyon où on peut admirer l'hôtel de ville et la fontaine de Bartholdi.
Bars agréables pour boire un verre en terrasse.

L'une des deux places lyonnaises les plus marquante avec l'impressionnante fontaine de Bartholdi et la façade de l'Hôtel de Ville.

La Place des Terreaux regorge de trésor. On y trouve l’Hôtel de Ville, mais aussi le musée des Beaux Arts ainsi qu’un certain nombre de bar et café et également la fontaine Bartholdi, majestueuse. On s’y retrouve entre amis ou pour des rassemblements. C’est un bon point de départ pour visiter la Presqu’île et découvrir les pentes de la Croix-Rousse. La place est en cours de rénovation pour faire peau neuve.
