Lyons's finest square is Place Bellecour, situated between the Rhône and the Saône, with an equestrian statue of Louis XIV by the Lyons sculptor F. Lemot (1775-1827). The buildings on the east and west sides of the square were erected around 1800. To the southeast, near the Head Post Office, is a 17th C. tower. From the north side of the square there is a view of the hill of Fourvière.
From the square Rue Victor-Hugo runs south by way of Place Ampère (monument) to the attractive Place Carnot, which has a large monument to the Republic erected in 1890.
