Place des Tapis, Pedestrian square in 4th arrondissement, France
Place des Tapis extends between Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse and Boulevard des Canuts, featuring wide sidewalks lined with four rows of plane trees.
Between 1863 and 1905, the square housed the freight station of Lyon-Croix-Rousse, serving as the terminus for the Lyon-Croix-Rousse to Trévoux railway line.
The square displays a statue commemorating the Chant des Canuts near Boulevard des Canuts, accompanied by a large fountain basin at its base.
The Croix-Rousse metro station serves the square, with two Vélo'v bicycle rental stations located nearby on Boulevard des Canuts and Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse.
A regularly renewed mural decorates the wall connecting Rue Jacquard and Boulevard des Canuts, changing its appearance annually since 2016.
