Cultural associations Yvelines

The Place du Marché de Neauphle-le-Château, which was built in the late th century, would be the only square square (double quadrangular) closed from Ile-de-France.

Le Mesnil-Saint-Denis is a charming town in the Yvelines department of the Île-de-France region.

This cultural hall managed by the town of Trappes presents shows (music, theatre, dance, circus) aimed at the general public and young people, but also school workshops (the Chemin des Arts festival takes place there every May). This 1,200-seat modular hall also hosts many renowned artists and, thanks to its highly diversified programming, is able to give pride of place to local initiatives.

It is not common for a city in its thirties to be awarded the prestigious label Villes d'art et d'histoire by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. And yet, the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines urban community succeeded in this brilliant move in June 2006. It is thus the first new ex-city to have received this label, which responds to three criteria: make residents aware of their living environment and encourage quality tourism, introduce young people to architecture, heritage and urban planning, and finally present the city (visits, interpretation centre...). It thus testifies to the tremendous human adventure that was the creation, in barely thirty years, of this young urban area of 150,000 inhabitants. A veritable open-air museum, a laboratory for contemporary architecture and urban art, this territory also boasts remarkable ancient sites and an exceptional natural heritage that makes up more than 40 % of its image. The recognition of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines therefore marks a further step in the development of recent cities. It is also a strong signal for contemporary creation, with its wanderings and dazzling successes. Today, Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines groups together 12 municipalities (Elancourt, Guyancourt, La Verrière, Magny-les-Hameaux, Montigny-le-Bretonneux, Trappes, Voisins-le-Bretonneux, Plaisir, Villepreux, Claye-sous-bois, Coignières and Maurepas) with different stories.

The mission of this association for Culture, Leisure and Training is to be a place of experimentation and social and cultural innovation, listening to the population and participating in local development. Each season, it welcomes more than 2 000 members of all ages to whom it proposes a full range of activities (from language courses or sports sport, to dance, music or philosophy workshops) and cultural spaces (a recording studio, 2 rehearsal studios, "MAD" for young local creators, and especially "L'Eclipse", room shows more than 50 performances, including a musical majority). Since last November, and after more than a year of work, the members had to return to brand new premises. The famous International Friendships Hall has been completely renovated and will be able to host concerts with more than 500 spectators. The largest association of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, already unavoidable, is even more important.

The website of the Yvelines General council entirely dedicated to culture. It is intended to enhance the cultural life of the territory as well as the policy and departmental actions in this area. This "Yvelines cultural portal" is called to become a cultural showcase of the Yvelines department with Internet users.
