    On August 20, 1792, during the Revolution, the equestrian statue of Louis XV was erected. demolished and melted down to make cannons. It was then replaced by a freedom tree and the square was named "Place de la Liberté". Later, on the occasion of the arrival of Napoleon I, the square was briefly called "Place Impériale" before becoming "Place Royale" again with the restoration of the monarchy in 1815.
