Fodor's Review:

Constructed between the 15th and 17th centuries, this is the seat of municipal and communal councils. A painted, medieval Fontaine de la Justice (Justice Fountain) draws strollers to lounge on its heavy rim. Across the street, you can watch the modern animated clock, donated to the city by local merchants; moving figures appear every hour on the hour. A street market is held in the square every Wednesday and Saturday morning.
