Founded in 1701 by Louis XIV, this institution had its seat in various places in the city until industrial growth required a new building to be erected.
As with the Opera House, the chosen architect was Louis-Marie Cordonnier from Lille, who had just finished building the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.
Here, he used a neo-regionalist style inspired by the Beauregard row (1687) just opposite.
The belfry, 76 metres high, symbolises the power of the merchant cities.
