Graslin quarter

19th century

Its theatre, shopping arcade and famous brasserie have drawn in shops attracted to the slightly dated carefree time of the 19th century.

Description

The town’s industrial success shaped the whole elegant area of the town.

Despite being heavily bombed the last world war it has managed to remain one of the finest examples of 18th – 19th century town planning. Named after its promoter, Mr Graslin, it was designed by the architects Ceineray and Crucy.
