Place Saint-Pierre

Pétion-Ville's public heart, still used for national fairs, markets and the ordinary business of a town that has kept working.

Walk the square in the morning, look at the Saint-Pierre church, and see what has been set up under the trees that week.

Local tip: Daylight only, and keep phones and cameras low-key, as you would in any capital city.
