This beautiful neo-baroque building has been renovated several times before becoming, for the centenary of its foundation, a comfortable 460-seat performance hall, with a soul that delights artists and spectators. From 2020, the foyer on the first floor will be redeveloped into a second performance hall intended for small forms, and able to accommodate around sixty spectators. 150 meters from the station, overlooking a large pedestrian square and housing a friendly pizzeria with terrace on the ground floor, La Grange da Antonio, the TBB is a popular meeting place for spectators in the region.

Nicer bike path connection between Concise and Grandson always along the coast. The better alternative to the main street. It rolled comfortably over small village connecting roads without traffic. Tarmac is good.

This imposing bastion of medieval architecture is a real eye-catcher. The castle can be visited for a fee. As it is being renovated until 2026, the interior rooms are only accessible to the public via a guided tour. If you have visited the castle, you should definitely pay a visit to the town of Grandson. It is really worth it.
