Each morning I bought breakfast items from a store on Rue de la Republique. Then I walked for few minutes before I reached this square. I sat on a bench and enjoyed eating them slowly and watch people preparing for their days. In the evening, I walked through the middle of the square to check each of the restaurant's menus... More

Service was great, our waiter had a great sense of humor and allowed us to stumble through our limited French and then get exactly what we needed. Food was OK but not gourmet. Good for an easy dinner on a Sunday or Monday night when everything else is closed. More

The Place de l'Horloge seems to have less tourists than the adjoining area in front of the Palais de Papes and therefore feels more 'local' There was a market on when we were there which made it a bit livlier. I liked the painted famous people in the 'windows' of the buildings on many of the streets leading on to... More
