Plaza Francia (en espagnol : «Place de la France») est une place du barrio de Recoleta à Buenos Aires, en Argentine. La Plaza Intendente Alvear, située à proximité, est aussi de manière erronée appelée du même nom.Plaza Francia été créé par une ordonnance municipale du 19 octobre 1909, dans le cadre d'une rénovation urbaine décidée à l'occasion du centenaire de l' Argentine. Conçue par l'architecte paysagiste français Charles Thays, elle s'inscrit dans un plus large ensemble de places, notamment la Plaza Intendente Alvear, la Plaza San Martín de Tours, la Plaza Juan XXIII, la Plaza Ramón J.Cárcano, la Plaza Dante et la Plaza Rubén Darío.
La place est dominée par le monument de la France à l'Argentine d'Émile Peynot, offert par la communauté française à l'occasion du centenaire et inauguré en 1910. Ses quatre bas-reliefs en bronze évoquent des faits historiques centraux de l'histoire des deux nations : la Première Junte et la traversée des Andes pour l'Argentine ; la prise de la Bastille et la Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen pour la France. Les deux figures féminines qui surplombent le monument symbolisent l'Argentine et la France, guidées par un ange qui personnifie la Gloire. Le monument comporte également des plaques commémorant des personnalités d'origine française : le grenadier Domingo Porteau, décédé lors de la bataille de San Lorenzo durant la guerre d'indépendance argentine, et l'écrivain Émile Zola . Un monument à Louis Braille a été inauguré sur la Plaza Francia en 1977.
Great weekend flea market but be very aware of pickpockets, do not leave purse or backpack unattended

A must in Buenos Aires. Walk around and don't forget to visit Recoleta's grave yard. There are multiple things to do around here. Visit the Museum of fine arts just crossing Libertador Av. Also go to the Cafe La Biela and the small church next to the Centro Cultural Recoleta. Inside this visit the Prohibido No tocar (Forbidden not to touch) Museum. Great for kids, and not so kids.
