Place Saint-Louis
Born in the 13th century, Place Saint-Louis occupies a former district once crossed by the Seille River and worked by money changers. Its tightly packed rows of houses give it a distinctly southern feel. This singular appearance, echoing the squares and monuments of the Italian republics, even lends it a Sienese allure.
