The rue de la Liberté forms the spine of the town, running east from the wide, attractive place Darcy and the eighteenth-century triumphal arch of Porte Guillaume, once a city gate, past the palace of the dukes of Burgundy on the semicircular place de la Libération. From this elegant, Classical square, Rue Rameau continues directly east to Place du Théâtre, from where Rue Vaillant leads on to the church of St Michel. Pedestrianized and lined with smart shops and elegant old houses, most places of interest are within ten minutes' walk to the north or south of this main axis.
