François-Rude square, Medieval square in central Dijon, France.
The François-Rude square features half-timbered houses, intersecting with Rue des Forges, Rue François-Rude, and Rue de la Liberté streets.
The square emerged in 1904 following the demolition of ancient houses, including the medieval Hôtel de Rochefort-Lucey along Rue du Lacet.
The central fountain displays a bronze statue of a wine maker pressing grapes, reflecting the regional wine traditions of Burgundy.
The square hosts outdoor markets on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with numerous cafes and restaurants offering local specialties.
Local residents name the square Bareuzai after the Burgundian term for grape crushers whose legs turned pink during wine production.
