Place de la Barre is one of the most historic places in Macon. It was originally located outside the walls, next to the massive Porte de la Barre, through which Louis XII entered the city in 1501, after having landed at the port of Breuil and bypassed the ramparts. These disappeared in 1774 and access to the city center was made easier. This place was called Cour de la Barre, a name that the revolutionaries transformed into the Porte de la Montagne, then shortly after the Place des Champs-Élysées. In 1900, the city built the Tacot station, a small building without charm, but which has enjoyed good traffic. The producers came from Haut Mâconnais in a tacot to sell their vegetables and settled near the stop. It has been in service for 30 years. After the Great War, the garden of the square was laid out and the statue of the bucket bearers was installed there, by the Maconnais sculptor Alexandre Morlon, who already created the war memorial in the Square de la Paix. lejsl.com/edition-macon/2015/08/17/la-place-de-la-barre-de-la-montagne-aux-champs-elysees
