This shopping centre attracts many customers, but especially to shop with big store Auchan. Easy access, by tram or by car, easy to park with the large parking lot.

Yet, Auchan's big store has been refurbished, but there is no very warm atmosphere in the gallery. Take the fancy jewelry shelving and the few clothes shops for women to stroll through the aisles.
