Culture New Aquitaine

For 30 years this year, Espace Mendès France has seized the current social topics to highlight them with audiences of all ages through exhibitions, conferences, round tables, shows and workshops. His challenge: popularize scientific research to make it accessible to all and put it in a local contact. Hundreds of events are offered every year. Dive into the program. It is dense. Exhibitions are often visited. Designed for all ages, they allow to manipulate and experiment to better understand. Within the EMF, dedicated to digital creation, the Multiple Place offers shows and workshops. Let's do experiments!

This is in the heart of the old Vicomté of Ventadour, in B, the centre of discovery of the Middle Ages. Set in a 400 th century mansion, next to the Marchadial square, the centre offers an exhibition area of more than m ². It is a cheerful, playful and surprising tool for valuing local historic heritage. The general idea is to discover the Middle Ages by following the footsteps of the famous Troubadour De De, a child of the country, who lived more than 800 years ago in the Vicomté de. To do this, the visitor is immersed in a medieval visual and visual atmosphere where he is offered pedagogical approaches to art, crafts, poetry and music of the troubadours. In the third millennium, it is an invitation to the dream and culture of the Middle Ages. To be completely in the atmosphere, you can also afford a medieval day with a visit to the centre, the city, a workshop and a period meal. The centre also organizes interactive workshops for outreach to the medieval arts: enamel, enluminure on parchment, heraldic, music, calligraphy and costume in the attic under a superb structure. These open-to-all animations are made on reservation. To close your visit, a place at the shop shop allows you to discover very specialized works on the Middle Ages.

This space, with a capacity of 408 to 666 places, also has an exhibition hall where you can organise general meetings, congresses or shows (at 21 h). Quality programming from October to April. And under study, the transformation of the Espace Jéliote, in «Stage Agreement», the Ministry of Culture already engaged in support of theatre, opera, street arts… could imagine helping the development of another art, the puppet… A boon for Oloron!

It's a place where culture has its rightful place. The people of La Rochelle loved Michel Crépeau, and they love the media library named after him. The location is ideal, just a stone's throw from the town center in the Ville en Bois district. There's no doubt that once you step through the doors, you'll enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. On the first floor, there are a few colored armchairs for those who want to read newspapers and magazines, a relaxation area with coffee machine and another for the little ones who can even relax on carpets. A temporary exhibition room is also located here. Higher up, the spaces are ideal for reading and relaxing. In all, almost 200,000 books can be borrowed for an hour or a few weeks. Le Petit Futé invites you to settle down in one of the comfortable armchairs to read, of course, but also to enjoy an idyllic view of the channel and the towers. You can then walk back to the city center, or take the ferry to continue this moment of relaxation. Throughout the year, the media library offers a wide range of free events: readings, story times, film screenings, conferences...
