Visit Passage Balthus, the neo-Renaissance building that was destined to become Autun's halles.

Passage Balthus is a former open-air market hall, built in 1737. In 1848, it was transformed into a covered passage designed by architect Palluet. Its neo-Renaissance decor, blue-and-white paving and original glass roof give it an unexpected elegance in a city where the remains are more likely to be antique. Small boutiques on either side enliven the space. Reminiscent of many similarly structured Parisian passages, the Passage Balthus is officially "twinned" with the Passage du Nord in Brussels.

Surprenant mais sans plus.
C'est un vestige sympa... C'est triste par contre, aucun magasin ou presque juste des permanences d'associations ou autre et la propreté laisse parfois à desirer surtout dans l'escalier. On le traverse donc généralement vite sans même lever les yeux . Dommage.

Anciennes Halles devenues un Passage couvert reliant la rue aux Cordiers à la rue du Général Demetz. En partant à pieds de l'OT pour se rendre à la Cathédrale, c'est "un passage" obligé de la découverte de la cité : une curiosité inattendue bien mise en valeur.
