Place des Quinconces

It's a great time to explore the Saint-Pierre district, where you can see the Porte Cailhau, the old city gates dating back to 1495. Then take a stroll along the Garonne River, where you can cross the Pont de Pierre or admire the vast expanse of water and beautiful reflections in front of the Place de la Bourse. For antique lovers, the Brocante des Quinconces flea market is an event worth visiting. Take some time to admire the portico with its 12 Corinthian columns, which perfectly frames the Monument aux Girondins on the Place des Quinconces. Look up and you'll see the nine muses and three goddesses of ancient mythology that seem to watch over the opera house and the Place de la Comédie.
