Place des Écritures is Figeac’s open-air memorial to Champollion: a flat plaza paved with a giant reproduction of the Rosetta Stone surrounded by medieval façades, arcades and cafés. Photograph wide patterns, text details, reflections after rain, and framed street scenes. Best at golden hour or blue hour when low light sculpts the inscriptions and warm façades. Weekday mornings are quieter. Easy pedestrian access, no entry fee; public parking and small lots nearby. Respect cafés and local events
