Le café s'appelle "Le Grand Prix" depuis 1997.

History
Café-bar opened around 1900. The period storefront has disappeared; the interior decoration included four painted canvases signed by E. Mérou, presenting allegories of the seasons in "Belle Epoque" clothing. Only one panel, "le Printemps", remains visible, the others being hidden behind the current decoration. The café has been called "Le Grand Prix" since 1997.
