Concert halls Normandy

The Sirius, already classified as Art and Trial, will soon become the centre of Art and Test du Havre, since the closure of the room L'Eden (the volcano cinema). Proximity to the university prevailed over the other places (Clubs and Studio) that could claim to this appellation, which seems to be very envied. It would be tempting to write that this is the last quarter of the neighbourhood in Le Havre, and this gives this place all the nobility that is worth passionate.

With three halls, the largest of which has 240 seats, film classified Art and Trial, the Sirius would be as a necessary small star in the local film panorama. Good programming in children's movies, preferential rates for students - cinema is next to the university - work with and around schools.

If you like to see a variety of shows, some crazy, some traditional, then the Almendra should please you!

It is the ideal place to discover the living arts such as cabaret, comedy shows, dance or theatre. The place is popular.

If we had to award the prize for the most friendly and dynamic local cinema on the coast, we would roll out the red carpet at the Cabieu. Classified as Art et Essai, this cinema can boast of being sponsored by two stars of the 7th art: Catherine Frot and Jacques Perrin, if you please! Debates with the actors, film-snacks, VO sessions, baby movies (for parents with strollers), and even yesterday's movies with the projection of anthology pieces, are part of the credits. A good reputation that has earned it an expansion project: a second theater is underway.

Located on the left bank, this unique cabaret in town offers music-hall shows mixing dance, singing, comedy, burlesque, frills, transformation and humour, all orchestrated by a Master Loyal. These festive and good-natured revues can be enjoyed over a "Plume" or "Prestige" menu at lunch or dinner, with dishes as appetizing as each other on the menu. The BM Company that performs here caters to all audiences with plenty of glitter and feathers. L'Étoile also offers a Sunday tea dance and a nightclub.

This theater is a place of work and artistic diffusion with, of course, shows, exhibitions, workshops or artists' residences. The programming is eclectic in order to satisfy an always wider public. With many reduced rates, adaptations in LSF or shows for a young audience, the theater is no longer reserved for an elite and wants to be multiple just like its public!

Unique in its kind (already by its look), the theater of Caen bets on the eclecticism: its programming opens to all the genres of the living spectacle. One can thus see operas, concerts, plays, dance shows... A clever trick for students who cannot always afford a ticket for a show, advantageous offers are put in place. Think about it, if you show up 30 minutes before the show, discounts of up to -85% are offered on the seats still available upon presentation of a receipt!

A theater that lives up to its name! The Renaissance has been resurrected, and not just once!

Restored to its former splendor in 2005, the Renaissance is now run by a dynamic association and is open to a wide range of visitors. With a capacity of 430, the Renaissance offers an eclectic program of music, theater, dance, circus and street arts. This is also the theater that hosts the Plateaux éphémères.

30 years of the BBC! There have been many artists on this stage! Rock may be king, but other musical styles are also making their mark. This year's line-up includes Talisco, Arthur H and Alela Diane. Its strong points: a small (600-seat) but terribly warm venue where you can get right up close to the artists, irreproachable sound quality and a pleasant bar where you can meet your favorite singers.

Let the one who has never wanted to go to the little corner raise his finger. Finally we must not think of the same... The P'tit Coin is a small intimate theater with 50 seats that allows unknown talents to become known. Certainly, from the outside the building is not very warm but the laughter is shared inside. In addition to this P'tit Coin, the large room opposite can accommodate 200 seats (175 at the table during cabarets). Every year, festivals are organized here several times. Reserve your seats.

Toile recognize this without ambage: cinemas in small towns often have a charm of no other kind! It is not the Dungeon, the Bricquebétaise hall, that will deny this assertion.

Other advantages, very low rates, and eclectic and popular programming.
