One of the city's most popular meeting places, this town square is home to various cultural landmarks. There is a statue commemorating General Dufour, who helped found the Red Cross, as well as monuments to the Conservatory of Music and the local opera house, The Grand Theatre. Both monuments date back to the mid-1800s. Place Neuve is located near the rue de la Cerraterie and also leads in the tree-lined beauty of the Promenade des Bastions.
