Place Saint-André

Place Saint-André is a public square in central Grenoble, lined with historic buildings including the former law courts and the Gothic church of Saint-André. A bronze statue of a French knight occupies the center of the space.

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.

The Café de la Table Ronde has shaped gatherings here since 1739 and ranks among France's oldest continuously operating bistros. Visitors sit in the same rooms where generations of locals have shared meals and conversations.

The square sits near Hubert Dubedout tram station, served by lines A and B offering convenient connections throughout the city. The area is easily walkable and provides wheelchair access for visitors.

The bronze statue depicts Pierre Terrail de Bayard, a 15th-century knight admired by his contemporaries for his loyalty during warfare and personal honor. His reputation as a principled warrior still shapes how people remember him today.
