There is one word to describe Place de la Bourse and that is "Impressive". It is worth stopping and taking photos especially after dark when it becomes very impressive indeed.

Nice place to sit and watch the world go by. Hordes of locals and tourists cycling, walking, skateboarding and roller skating past, picnicking on the grass and catching up on Vitamin D

The Place de la Bourse is simply beautiful, the architecture is incredibly impressive, and the miroir d'eau located on the quays makes it a delightful place to go to during a warm day or on a lovely evening. Though I would never touch the water, not sure it is very clean haha.
