One of the most impressive buildings in Lyon is the courthouse sitting at one end of Pont Neuf which crosses over the Saone River. It is a beautiful neo-classical building featuring twenty four columns. The Palais de Justice is famous for several “infamous” trials. The view of the building from across the Saone is quite lovely especially at when it’s lit up at night. As you get closer you can really see its magnitude and admire the architectural design.
