The Town Hall Square is named after former President François Mitterrand, who was mayor of Château-Chinon from 1959 to 1981. An imposing "Niki de Saint Phalle Fountain" faces the Town Hall. It is a monumental work composed of sculptures by Niki de Saint Phalle and an articulated base created by Jean Tinguely. It was created between 1987 and 1988, commissioned by President François Mitterrand.

The climb from the west into the city is a long ramp with a lot of traffic. But the small town with its cafes is worth the climb. And a break helps to gather strength for the Col Folin...😀
