In an artistic complementarity in the city of Rennes, the Le Ponant, present in the local cultural landscape since 2000, offers music, dance or even one-man shows that attract an ever more audience. For the 2011-2012 season, no fewer than 35 performances will come to animate this dynamic site. The festival "La Semaine des Arts", which takes place in November, has become an invaluable rendezvous for the Pacéens.

A large hall, a bar and a cloakroom are available, a fully equipped kitchen allows the services of a caterer for seminars or any other business or cultural meeting. A 10-minute drive from Rennes, Le Ponant has made his reputation as a high-quality programming room for both the public and artists.

Theater, graphic and digital arts are also on offer, both indoors and in the large covered hall. Numerous courses and workshops are offered: experimental dance, capoeira, singing, clowning and many others.

The MIR is a lively organization, offering a wide range of events throughout the year. We could mention, for example, the discovery of Brazil through cinema, Europe Days, extracurricular workshops or even the Solidarity Festival. As you can see, it's a place you'll want to visit often, to discover other cultures and open up to others in a spirit of fraternity. The Maison Internationale de Rennes brings together more than a hundred international associations in Rennes working in the fields of human rights, Europe, international solidarity, intercultural exchange and migration. The MIR hosts meetings, exhibitions, conferences and films on international solidarity and intercultural issues. Throughout the year, it is possible to organize events to discover current international affairs, and to take part in awareness-raising activities on themes linked to climate change, and the fight against inequality and discrimination.

A professional team welcomes, informs, advises, experiments and leads projects, in liaison with member associations. It follows the guidelines and projects set by the association's governing bodies, which include elected representatives. So don't hesitate to drop in, as it's a rich place to discover.
