Lonely Planet review

Travelers in particular will identify with artist Michel Goulet's vision for this square. A giant stone map of the world sits in the centre, with water trickling alongside the continents, a symbol for getting out and exploring the world and what goes on in it. This is a wonderful place for pause in a quiet, sleepy corner of the Plateau.

Goulet finished off the square by scattering several bronze chairs of all different types all over the pavement. Each one faces a different direction to express openness to new ideas.
