Statue of the Republic

Great place to take rest

Nice pleasant park and place to sit and relax

Very impressive statute one several located in Place Carnot, so worth a visit as there are also several items of historical interest there. A walk from Place Carnot to Place Bellecour along Rue Victor Hugo takes about 20 minutes and has lots of shops and small cafes. Rue Victor Hugo is a pedestrian are but watch for cars where it is crossed by a number of side streets

This is one of those "off the beaten track" tourists' discovery. I stumbled upon this by accident whilst trying to find Perrache station. In a Christmas market park stands this tall statue. It's supposedly Marianne, who represents the Republic, with a lion beside her. I could just make out the Gallic Rooster stomping on a snake. Interesting as a passing interest for me. Worth searching for it? You decide.

nice statue located in a moderately busy area. The history and detail of the statue are interesting once you google it.

Good place to relax and spend sometime before heading to other sites.

Beautiful sculpture, I found interesting the concept of personifying The Republic in a statue, it is a very dashing picture the one of the monument; the park is also beautiful yet small a little; it is next to the Perrache Station so it is very well communicated to be visited.
