"A Public Square with a Large Fountain"

This square is named after the Dominican convent that stood on the Presqu'ile in the 13th century, until it was destroyed during the Revolution. The end of the 18th century was not a good time to be a monk or a lay preacher. The city council commissioned the architect G. André to build a monument on the Place des Jacobins, to commemorate Lyons's artistic genius. 1n 1866, the sculptor C Delaplanche designed a large fountain called "Lyon à ceux qui l'ont illustré" (Lyons to its illustrators). Four sculpted figures represent four artists from four different periods and four different art forms: the 16th century architect Phillibert Delorme famous for his hôtel Bulliod), the 19th century painter Hippolyte Flandrin, the 18th century sculptor Guillaume Coustou and the 17th century engraver Gérard Audran.
