    The Place aux Oignons is a charming square located in the Vieux-Lille (Old Lille) district. This picturesque square is known for its beautiful brick buildings, cobblestone streets, and lively atmosphere. It's a popular spot with a variety of cafés and restaurants with outdoor terraces.
    The name "Place aux Oignons" is believed to derive from the Latin word "dominium," meaning "donjon" (a type of fortified tower), which once stood nearby. Over time, the name evolved into "Place aux Oignons" (Onion Square).
    Thus, the maze of alleyways west of the cathedral is typical of the fortified town, the original center around which Lille developed.
    The square lies at the foot of the old motte castrale (a type of medieval earthwork), which was later replaced by the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de la Treille.
