The Grand Theatre

Make sure you don’t leave before giving this majestic building a good look around both inside and out. Found just off the Rue Esprit de Lois in the center of town, you might think you were in Rome at first as the huge pillared forum-like structure. Its history is extensive, beginning by design from Victor Louis in 1780 in a neo-classical style but with 12 pillars, each one representing the nine muses and three goddesses, who, in ancient Greece, inspired art and literature. The wooden frame remains the last European wooden structure to remain intact in its original form. If there is a ballet or opera performance while you’re in town then don’t miss it.
