Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse

The Halles moved to the Part-Dieu area in 1971. If you want the very best food, this is the place to go. It has a price however.

Opera house
Opéra Nouvel
Opposite the City Hall stands the opera house. The 1826 theatre built by Chenavard and Pollet was completely redesigned by Jean Nouvel who kept only the façades and the foyer on the first floor. The building was reopened in 1993. The history of these works was epic: a lot of technical problems occurred and the final cost of the project was six times the initial estimate. Today, the glass top has become a classical landmark of the city but the interior design is criticised, for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
