The ornately Gothic Law Courts, little more than a shell at the end of WWII, have been restored to their early-16th-century glory. On rue Jeanne d'Arc, however, you can still see the very pockmarked façade, which shows the damage sustained during bombing raids in 1944. Around the corner on pedestrianised rue aux Juifs, you can peer into the spire- and gargoyle-adorned courtyard.
Hidden beneath the staircase at the courtyard’s eastern end is the Monument Juif.
The tourist office runs two-hour tours (€7) at 3pm every Tuesday and at 10.30am on the last Friday of every month.
Visitors curious about the French justice system can sit in on a court session – under French law, most proceedings are open to the public.
