The long square connects the old town with the 18th century new town, which was founded by Duke Stanislas. The west and east sides are bordered by two rows of plane trees. A low wall surrounds the square, the corners are formed by four fountains with children's figures. At the southern and northern ends, a high wrought iron fence borders the square.
