The Grand Theatre was built by Victor Louis from 1773 to 1780. This major architectural heritage site, which now houses the Bordeaux National Opera, is 88 metres long and 47 metres wide, fronted by a portico with twelve stone statues: the nine muses, accompanied by Minerva, Venus, and Juno. A monumental staircase leads to the theatre entrance.
