Why go
The building gives Place des Terreaux much of its ceremonial scale. Compare the richly ordered façade facing the square with the rear elevation toward Place de la Comédie, then notice how the opera house continues the civic sequence immediately behind it.
What to look for
- The sculpted façade facing Place des Terreaux
- The axis linking the city hall with Place de la Comédie
Useful to know
- Treat this as an exterior stop unless a civic or guided opening is advertised.
- View it from across Place des Terreaux for the clearest proportions.
