Place des Terreaux
This large square was completely redesigned in the 1990s by the artist Daniel Buren. On the East side stands the City Hall. On the North side, you will find the fountain sculpted by Bartholdi, the 'father' of the Statue of Liberty; this fountain was moved from the West side when the square was renovated. It now faces Palais St Pierre, which hosts the Museum of Fine Arts.

Bouchon Chez Paul
A very good bouchon serving huge portions. Noisy and friendly.

L'Abreuvoir
There you can join some crazy French listening to crazy French music. Definitely an experience, though not everyone's cup of tea.

City Hall
Hôtel de Ville
The city hall, built in the 17th century, has a very beautiful façade on Place des Terreaux. The most notable feature of this façade is the sculpture representing King Henri IV on horseback (in the middle of the upper part). Unfortunately, it is impossible to visit the building except during the "Heritage days" (Journées du patrimoine) in mid-September.
