Place Bellecour Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Place Bellecour in the center of Lyon, once known as Place Royale. Unlike the general central square, its ground is entirely paved with laterite, which does not make it very beautiful, but it leaves a deep impression. The red tone of the square is very harmonious with the red roofs of the old Lyon buildings. Interestingly, the square was also an important stage for the Lyon textile workers' riots in the mid-19th century. There is a tall equestrian statue of Louis XIV on the square, which is the work of Lumont, a sculptor born in Lyon. The square is surrounded by buildings built in the early 19th century, as well as flower shops, cafes and restaurants. It is a very good place for citizens to rest.

I still recommend everyone to go. After all, it is one of the few large squares in Lyon. It is very empty. There are many restaurants around. In the evening, many citizens come back to the square for a walk. The Ferris wheel on the main square is great! My boyfriend and I came at night and made the Ferris wheel together. The student ticket is 9 euros per person. You can overlook the night view of Lyon. It will turn around 5 times. The last circle will stay at the highest point for a little time for the people to take pictures. ~ It’s really beautiful and romantic to see the night view from the Ferris wheel.
The most important square in Lyon, it is very good to distinguish, the red earth paved square shows the importance of this place, nearby are historical architectural attractions, and then connect to the shopping and cultural center of the new era, very beautiful
pretty place in the heart of lyon. not far from old lyon which is the most beautiful place there.
Because Sofitel lives in a district, you can walk a short way to the White Apple Square in the center of Lyon. The square is very busy on Sunday. Many local people are doing sports and sunshine. The most distinctive feature of this square is that the whole ground is red earth. There is a Ferris wheel with Lyon Eye in the middle. The Ferris wheel is not sealed. It is estimated to be very cool in summer and snowflakes are sitting in winter. There is a bronze statue next to the Ferris wheel, which is Louis XIV riding in high spirits. Now young people are playing with electric scooters. I think it's more spirited.
