It is not far from the embassies of France in Tunisia, Italy and Place Mongi-Bali.
It is home to an important urban transport hub, with the Tunis light metro, many bus lines, the Gare de Tunis managed by the Tunisian National Railway Company and a public garden.
In 2008 the central director of major projects of the Société des transports de Tunis (Transtu) announced that it would launch a redevelopment project with a total value of 27.3 million dinars.
He must create an underground bus station, the whole of the place then being dedicated to the metro; an improvement in traffic in the neighboring streets and avenues is also expected.
