This square started out as the location of the guillotine, and was where the crowds gathered to watch the public executions. Its tourist attraction is the elaborate fountain at the center, designed and sculpted by Bartholdi, the same sculptor who designed and built the Statue of Liberty. Now, with all the new cafés that have popped up around its edges, the square is still a place to meet and exchange ideas. METRO: Hotel de Ville   (© 10Best)
