Place Bellevue, Square and scenic viewpoint in La Croix-Rousse district, Lyon, France.
Place Bellevue features two 19th-century residential buildings and intersects with streets connecting Austerlitz and Bodin, while offering eastern views of Lyon.
The square emerged during the Second Empire period, undergoing modifications in 1870 following the demolition of Lyon's city wall near Fort Saint Laurent.
The square contains a statue of Sully Prudhomme, founder of the Society for the Protection of Landscapes and Aesthetics of France in 1901.
Visitors can reach Place Bellevue through TCL public transport or Vélo'v bike-sharing services, with stairways connecting to Magneval and Philibert Delorme streets.
From this vantage point, observers can see the TGV viaduct, Parc de la Tête d'Or, Musée Guimet tower, and Mont Blanc during clear weather conditions.
