Enjoy the concerts of the Opéra

More than 10 years after the devastating fire at the Grand Théâtre in 1903, the municipality embarked on a project to build a completely new edifice. Architect Louis-Marie Cordonnier was in charge, with the ambition of reproducing an Italian-style auditorium. Today, it’s one of the few remaining Italian-style auditoriums in France.

Inspired by the neoclassical style, the building hosts numerous musical performances, as well as thematic workshops open to all.
