Talk:Place des Quinconces

comment
I'm just wondering how something's shape could be adopted in 1816 and its trees planted in 1818, but "laid out" two years later in 1820? I wonder, too, how something can be named for a shape that it is not the shape of. The article says it is a rectangle topped with a semi-circle, yet relates it to the shape of the five side of a dice. Is this lore, or were the trees moved or replanted? 67.172.153.122 (talk) 22:07, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
