The district extends eastwards through the place du Vigan, the Jardin National and the Lices Georges Pompidou, laid out in the nineteenth century on the site of the former fortifications, then through the rue de la République and the pont du 22-Août-1944. This whole makes up the official district of Grand-centre and holds the shops, the markets, the museums and most of the street life of the town.
