Since the disappearance in 2004 of Guy Labory, the initiator of the prestigious international arena festival, jazz seemed to have deserted the city somewhat. But for some years now, the Jazz 70 Association has been able to boast about the jazz in Nîmes. Members of the Jazz Group in L'R, programmers and turners have been re-established as an indispensable partner for many operations. The association had the good idea of not confining itself to elitist chapels. As a result, those who work around the artistic Director, Stéphane Kochoyan, seek to mix styles to bring together all generations around jazz. Thursday of Nîmes, the musical evenings of the Imperator, the atria, the 9 or the Milonga del Angel, not forgetting the festivals, Jazz at Vauvert in summer and Jazz Valley in autumn, the choices are voluntarily eclectic. Announcing a concert about every month, Jazz 70 publishes a small programme and invites its audience to support the association by subscribing (15 € individually, 20 for a couple) and thus enjoying discounted rates on concerts.

A former district cinema, completely renovated by the Kinepolis Forum, this modern complex, located in the city centre, is well integrated into its neighbourhood. With its 4 fully equipped rooms (digital projection, 3 D, pop-corn shop), the cinema follows the news of the exits, but does not try to compete with its grand brother at Costières des Costières. On the whole, you can find the same programming as in the periphery, but here we walk by walking. The quiet little street Poise, which is perpendicular to Admiral-Courbet, the boulevard, with its nettle, bars, restaurants, restaurants, squares, bookshops and museums… all this atmosphere is preserved and creates a pleasant perimeter around the Forum. Idea of exit? Walk in the bookshops, take a drink at the office, dinner at Nicolas, then a movie session at 22 pm at the Forum and check if there is no group at O'Flaherty pub…

Well integrated in the popular Richelieu quarter, the Théâtre de l'Odéon lives its cultural life all year round. A nice entrance, welcoming with its bar and red velvet, a modular room where various scenes are played: theatre for all, annual festivals (flamenco, scholarship for young talent talents, etc.) music concerts today, often rock. At the same time, we would tend to forget that this municipal theatre also has the vocation of living the popular theatre, that its programming follows the choices of ATP. You can hear some of the literature from the literature, discover contemporary pieces or lyrics, laugh at one-man-show or come to the family to attend children's shows.

As often in Nîmes, due to a multi-functional room, this theatre, opened in 2007, programme as many concerts as theatrical performances. With its 280-seat gauge + 6 places for people with reduced mobility, the room is known with eclectic shows where you feel a preference for dance, classical music, jazz and world music. Conferences and conferences are held on various topics of knowledge, topical debates, social and professional social activities. The Nîmoises companies are welcome and the students at the City conservatory are there. By the way, who was Christian Liger? Writer Nîmois, author of several books of history on Nîmes (Nimes sans Visa, in particular), this former assistant to the culture of Jean Bousquet was a local scholar. A man of enlightened commitment to his city, Christian Liger died in 2002.

This social and cultural centre in the west suburbs of Nîmes has always worked to make the current music in Nîmes. Long before the "live in bar" phenomenon resumes in town, SCOC SCOC could count on its beautiful showroom and host local, national, or international groups. Assisted by the Directorate of Cultural Affairs, the Federation of Current Music (Femag) and various associations, the programming team establishes a semi-annual agenda with formations of rock, reggae, hip-hop, oriental evenings. The only problem is Valdegour, located in ZUP… For those who do not have a vehicle, a free rotating shuttle service (go/return) is provided on the evenings of concerts with a departure at the Liberation Boulevard (front of the old entrance of the courthouse).

While Cinéplanet is a large-scale cinema offering the best films of the moment, with state-of-the-art technology, this eight-screen multiplex stands out for its emphasis on auteur films, documentaries and a diversity of original events. These include special screenings with engaging debates, meetings with film-makers, ciné-danse with live performances, night screenings... The major Itinérances festival is also held here, as well as Ciné Boucan, weeks dedicated to international cinema: a cinema for all tastes!
