Most of the furniture is made of bleached beech and oak wood, benches and chairs are additionally equipped with removable textile covers. The architectural intervention is complemented with an artistic installation Les Étoils (Stars) on the ceilings of main halls. It constitutes a rather surprising interpretation of the historical tradition of vaults’ decoration.
