Moon over the Place de la Bourse.
The place was created between 1730 and 1755, after the medieval city walls got teared down. Up to the Revolution the place´s name was "Place Royale" and a statue of Louis XV stood in the center. The name then changed to "Place de la Liberté" and the statue got replaced by a liberty pole. Under Napoleon I this was the "Place Impériale". Since 1869 the "Fontaine des Trois Grâces" (Fountain of the three Graces) is installed in the center.
