Place de la République

Place de la République is a major public square in Paris, France, located on the right bank. It is centred on a large memorial monument and has long served as a focal point for public gatherings.

The square is surrounded by wide avenues, pedestrian spaces and cafes, and functions as both a transport node and a civic meeting place. The central monument, with a bronze figure symbolising the Republic, is the square’s dominant element and a common meeting point.

The current design dates from the late 19th century when the monument was installed and the square took on its modern civic role. It has been the site of demonstrations, commemorations and public events since that period.

Place de la République sits in central Paris on the right bank and is well connected by metro and bus services to other parts of the city.
