Laid out in 1837 and named for the French Revolutionary War hero, this shaded square is framed by cobblestone sidewalks and live oaks. It features a central fountain donated in 1984 to mark the Georgia colony's 250th anniversary. Visitors find a quiet atmosphere accompanied by the sound of falling water and church bells, with scenic views overlooking the neighboring Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist, the Andrew Low House, and the Hamilton-Turner Inn.
