The redevelopment of the Place de la République is based on the concept of an open space with multiple urban uses. The new square creates a large-scale landscape and becomes an urban resource, available and adaptable for different uses. The statue of Marianne, the reflective pool, the pavilion and the rows of the trees form a strong axis. This harmony is amplified by the serene balance of the mineral element and a very gentle slope. The surface consists of paving slabs of different colors and sizes. Due to its exceptional size and its history, the Place de la République is now a new centre of attraction, a place for exchanges and meetings. The south-west part of the square houses a 162 m² pavilion, a unique building,glazed throughout to retain a continuous impression of this singular space.
