Place Bellecour - Great Attractions (Lyon, France)

Take a tour of Place Bellecour in Lyon, France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Lyon, France is a wonderful city: beautiful, but not overwhelming; large, but not overly touristy. In the center of the city is the Place Bellecour, a popular pedestrian plaza. The Place is among the largest open squares in Europe and an ideal place for a stroll. The statue in the middle personifies the nearby neighborhoods at the base. Mounted at the top of the pedestal, over the Saone and Rhone, is Louis XIV. The Place Bellecour is always popular: in winter it hosts an ice rink and ferris wheel.
