Place Francois Rude, located in the center of Dijon, is named after the sculptor Francois Rude, the author of the "Marseilles" relief on the Arc de Triomphe. The people of Dijon also call it the Place de Barges, which is homophonic with "BasRose" (red feet) in French, because there is a figure stepping on grapes on the fountain in the center of the square. Stepping on the grapes is an essential process for making wine, and after stepping on the grapes, the feet will turn red. From this we can see the importance of the wine industry in Burgundy.
