In the extension of the triumphal Arch, the Promenade du Peyrou, royal square, belvedere widely opened to all horizons, hosts an equestrian statue of Louis XIV, whose Jean Giral, the architect, completed the realization in 1774.

There is nothing to do on Sunday? Really ?
The Peyrou is also worth the visit for the candle, the lamp or the coffee service, which you will unearth after a little brunch during the famous Sunday flea market on Les Dimanches du Peyrou.
Every Sunday, you should come to visit the merchants, the bargain hunters compare their bargains and those who have not found anything find themselves at the refreshment bar. You never really leave Sundays at Le Peyrou empty-handed.
Do not miss the thematic days organized each year: Old toys, Cinema, Tableware…
Moreover the Peyrou sometimes turns into a festive place and hosts many other events such as concerts or festivals such as the Nuits du Peyrou.
