    Hiking

    Place des Jacobins was called "Place Confort" until 1782. It received its current name because of the Jacobins (the order of preachers, also known as the "Dominican order") who lived in tenements on the south side of the square.
    The Dominicans were so named because Philip Augustus gave them a building in Paris in the 13th century, from where the brothers made the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela (lat. Jacobus).

    A really beautiful and elegant square with a large and impressive fountain in downtown Lyon. It's worth staying and enjoying the atmosphere.
