Place Saint-André

Place Saint-André, Historic square in central Grenoble, France

Place Saint-André is a paved square in central Grenoble, bordered by the Gothic Collégiale Saint-André with its steep slate roof and the Palais du Parlement du Dauphiné. At its centre stands a bronze equestrian statue of the knight Bayard on a tiered stone pedestal. A yellow-ochre building with green shutters and arcaded shopfronts faces the square.

The square developed during the medieval period and for centuries served as the judicial heart of Grenoble, with law courts and official functions housed here. These institutions relocated only in the early 2000s.

Locals often still call the square Place du Trib, after the tribunal that sat in the Palais du Parlement until 2002. The Café de la Table Ronde, Grenoble's oldest café, was a meeting point for Resistance members in World War II; journalist Jean Pain was arrested there on 26 November 1943.

The square lies in the pedestrian zone, a short walk from the Isère quays, and is reached by tram lines A, B and D at the Hubert Dubedout - Maison du Tourisme stop. Five streets open onto it: rue du Palais, Grande Rue, rue d'Agier, rue Hector-Berlioz and rue Guy Pape.

The equestrian statue in the square's centre honours Pierre Terrail de Bayard, the knight known as the Chevalier de Bayard. The square also carries the local nickname Place du Trib, from the tribunal that sat in the Parliament building until 2002.
