Place du Parlement, Historic square in central Bordeaux, France.

Place du Parlement features a central neo-Gothic fountain from 1865, surrounded by golden limestone slabs and 18th-century buildings with decorated facades.

Created in 1760 as Place du Marche Royal, the square changed its name to Place de la Liberte during the French Revolution before receiving its current name.

The square's buildings display three levels of richly decorated facades with masks, horizontal bands, balustrades, and wrought iron balconies in Louis XV style.

The square remains open at all times and is accessible via tram line B at Grand Theatre station or tram line C at Place de la Bourse station.

The central fountain, designed by architect Louis-Michel Garros, incorporates traditional Bordeaux mascarons depicting Neptune, Bacchus, and carnival faces.
