As an integral part of the pedestrian zone, surrounded
by lots of street cafés, it has become the place where the
young and the old, the locals and the visitors meet. Place
d'Armes, also named "Parlour of the City", was aligned by
Sebastian van Noyen from Utrecht and completed by Governor
Jean Charles de Landas in 1671. The French troops of Louis
XIV paved the square, planted lime-trees and used it for
parades.
