Place de Jaude, Central square in Clermont-Ferrand, France
The square features a monumental statue of Vercingétorix at its center, surrounded by modern buildings, shops, restaurants, and the Opera Theatre.
During Roman times, the area served as a commercial district before transforming into a swampy terrain throughout the Middle Ages.
The equestrian statue was created in 1903 by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the same sculptor who designed the Statue of Liberty in New York.
The square contains underground parking facilities, a bus station, and the Jaude Shopping Mall with numerous retail establishments and services.
The 2006 renovation introduced 141 tree lanes and a tramway line, transforming the space into a pedestrian-friendly gathering area.
