"The Albert Collet Auditorium is a shell, a music shell, and a reinforced concrete structure that was built from 1932 to 1935.

A bandstand complemented by a washhouse on the lower level. This original ensemble, inaugurated in April 1935, includes a domed stage, an orchestra pit, and a modern communal washhouse for the time.

In the upper section, an antique-style theater mask and a lyre symbolize the artistic vocation of the venue. Beautiful wrought iron gates decorated with dancers and washerwomen provide access to the artists' dressing rooms and the communal washhouse. "

"Auditorium Albert-Collet est une coque, coquille à musique et structure en béton armé qui a été construit de 1932 à 1935.

Un kiosque à musique complété d’un lavoir au niveau inférieur. Cet ensemble original, inauguré en avril 1935, comporte une scène sous coupole, une fosse d'orchestre et un lavoir communal moderne pour l'époque.

En partie haute, un masque de théâtre façon antique et une lyre symbolisent la vocation artistique du lieu. De belles portes en fer forgé décorées de danseuses ou de lavandières permettent d'accéder aux loges d'artistes et au lavoir communal."
