This inspired architect designed the Grand Théâtre. A reference in the art of building. The same neoclassical-inspired façade, same Corinthian style colonnade, same excessive interior style, like the astonishing Marble Room, now called the Sauternes Salon, a marvel of marvels: opposite the Grand Théâtre, the mirror effect is immediate, striking, and at the same time the Harmony of the whole Place de la Comedie reaches perfection. This new building immediately entered the hearts of the people of Bordeaux.
