Place du Président-Wilson, Historic square in central Dijon, France
The square features a central fountain with seventeen water jets, surrounded by circular pathways and lined with plane trees reaching 110 meters in diameter.
Originally a military training ground called Champ de Mars, the square received its current name in 1918 to honor United States President Woodrow Wilson.
The 1912 music kiosk serves as a gathering point for performances, while two neoclassical corner buildings display bas-reliefs representing Burgundy's heritage.
The square connects to Cours du Parc and Cours du Général de Gaulle, providing direct access to the Parc de la Colombière through tree-lined avenues.
The central fountain includes a remarkable water jet that reaches a height of thirteen meters, creating a focal point visible from multiple directions.
