Place Carnot

The Place Carnot is a square located in the Perrache quarter, in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon.

Traboules lead to the Cours Charlemagne, either from the lobby of the Perrache railway station, or through underneath.

[2] The statue in the square (Allegory of the Republic) was inaugurated in the same year by Carnot's grandson, French President Sadi Carnot, who was assassinated five years later (on 24 June 1894) by an Italian anarchist during his second trip to Lyon.

[4] Nineteenth-century buildings of five or six floors, decorated and well maintained, line the north and east sides of the square.
