The Place des Quinconces, located in Bordeaux, France, is among the largest city squares in Europe (approximately 63 ac or 25.6 ha).
It was laid out in 1820 on the site of Château Trompette and was intended to prevent rebellion against the city. Its guns were turned towards the centre. Its current shape (lengthened rectangle rounded off with a semicircle) was adopted in 1816. Trees were planted (in quincunxes, hence the name of the square) in 1818.
Great site! Awesome architecture! Beautiful area!

A wonderful fountain and a glorious memorial for the spirit of freedom and liberty.

I came from Angers and this monument has connections with Angers, interesting to know. The sea horses and statues in a marine style are really impressive, also the rooster.

Great monument. A must-visit place when in Bordeaux. Surrounded by a nice garden where a stroll is mandatory.

Very nice statue. The fountain is never working or rarely which J find very sad actually. The place is located perfectly close to the place dès quinconce Close to the tram stations and 2 minutes walking from the opera and the heart of Bordeaux. Also the place next to the fountain is often used for exhibitions or the cirque or some other activities making this place a busy one through our the whole year A must visit place in Bordeaux for sure.

Nice spot. Magnificent fountain. There was an antique market when I was there. You can find some nice items there. You shouldn’t hesitate to bargain. You will also find some food trucks or kiosks serving local food and quality products from the region.

Absolutely beautifull. I love the angel on the top of the monument. I hope that you like the pictures. See the beautiful angel at the top.

Would have given the 5 stars if it weren’t for the construction work but understand that this is sometimes necessary

The monument is quite pretty and interesting, with a cooling back story. Unfortunately, it's next to an area that resembles an unused fair ground. 5 stars for the monument, 1 star for its unfortunate surroundings.

Very impressive monument located in central Bordeaux complete with fountains. Very well kept and clean surroundings. Currently some building works taking place behind at the moment but still didn't detract from the overall structure and presence of the monument .

I loved the sculptures in the fountain. Nice place to sit and relax. Close to the circus Some renovations around the monument are taken place. Close the the tramway station
