Lonely Planet review

Just across Canal de la Marne, the striking Palais des Droits de l'Homme , home of the European Court of Human Rights, completes the city's ensemble of major European institutions (the others are the European Parliament and the Palais de l'Europe). Sitting in on one of the two to five monthly court sessions, which generally begin at or Tuesday to Thursday and last about 90 minutes, is possible if there's space - check the website under 'pending cases' for dates and get there with ID a half-hour ahead (reservations are possible only for groups). The palais (court) is served by bus Nos 6, 30 and 72.
