DescriptionView of Place du Théâtre, a square in Dijon, France. On the left is a side view of what is probably the Grand Theâtre de Dijon. A woman sits with a large number of potted plants on the steps at the side of the building, under an awning. In the background the Église Saint-Étienne is visible. There is a large group of men in hats standing in the street in front of it, perhaps waiting to go into the church. The building to the right of the church has an awning and large letters on the side of the building that read, "CAFE DE LA HALLE".
