    Centre Chorégraphique National

    Long at the forefront of contemporary dance, Aix is home to France's first purpose-built choreography centre, the Centre Chorégraphique National (CNN, National Choreographic Centre; rue des Allummettes). This glass, steel and black-concrete box, Pavillon Noir, houses a 378-seat auditorium, roof deck and glass-walled rehearsal studios.

    The skeletal building, masterminded by French architect Rudi Ricciotti, allows passers-by to peer into the illuminated studios to watch the agile artistry of dancers.
