Concert halls Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

A musical, magical and romantic evening in unusual places? Come and listen to talented musicians illuminated by the light of hundreds of candles on modern themes: tribute to Coldplay, Goldman or Queen. In winter, the Candlelight collective welcomes you to the Palais de la Méditerranée; in summer, it's in the Temple of Love in the splendid Parc Chambrun. Regular events are also organized in the incredible Château de Crémat on the theme of film music. With your head in the stars, live a moment suspended to the sweet sounds of orchestras.

This contemporary performance venue offers an impressive variety of cultural events, including theater, puppetry, lectures, magic, dance, concerts and circus. Featuring two stages, large and small, the theater also includes the versatile Scène 55 space, spread over 3,000 square meters. Scène 55 houses a music school, recording studio, artistic workshops, exhibition gallery and restaurant. It's a place where art comes to life, offering a complete and immersive artistic experience.

During Ju, we knew for a long time a whale that said wave. Today, we go to the Whale to go to the movies or to spend a good culinary moment in the adjoining bistro. Because the Whale of today, opened in 2018, is a cine-bistro that we appreciate a lot. A single room, great comfort, which hosts film debates, workshops or previews. On the movie program, classics, alternative films and current themes. Some sessions are reserved for young audiences. At the bistro, you can eat fresh and organic food. Nice proposals on the slate at lunchtime and tapas to share in the evening.

Between the Plaine and the Julien course, this theater and neighborhood theater created in 2008, with fifty places is led by the actors and directors, Michel Adjriou and Dominique Lamour, founders of the Circle Circle company. A troupe of twenty people, faithful to its authors, who takes up the most beautiful texts of the classical French repertoire and can give a certain modernity to the moralist parts. We also organize workshops for adults and children, French song concerts, music hall… Ask the program!

This small theatre is aimed at a family audience, both in its programming and its adapted schedules. Many performances are placed in the afternoon, for schoolchildren, with really attractive rates for groups and children, who are particularly fond of the theatre. From mime tales, puppets, classical repertoire in clown version (Molière lends himself wonderfully!), initiations to the history of art for young audiences, the ideas flow. Theatre workshops are also offered for children and teenagers. Borrowed from Antonin Artaud, the motto of the Carthusian monks: "Theatre is bottled present! ».

Passionate about the cabaret atmosphere, Michel Piacenza first opened in 2001 a first dinner dinner in Sommières (Gard). The desire to settle near Marseille pushes him to search for another place, bigger, to imagine a more amazing show with a resident troupe led by choreographer Thierry Brisson and an artistic director, Jean-Michel Contassot. So the professional dancer, songs, imitations, music, audio and stage assemblies, numbers and costumes, nothing is left randomly. Every Friday and Saturday nights (on reservation only), the MP Show offers a comic, burlesque and transformiste journal where cabaret dance AND music hall alternate with the modern jazz. The timing of the performer (stilt, fire handler) is impressive. A real professionalism for this room where famous comics like Roland Magdane or Gérald Dahan are on the monthly meeting (Les Fous rires du MP Show).

The reopening of the ex-Balthazar in 2012, the mythical venue of the Massilia Sound System group, was greeted with relief. There is still room for small concert halls, associative venues often struggling with neighbourhood problems. A new name for a small venue taken over by the O'Bundies team from the Marseilles punk scene: Le Molotov. Hardcore, Occitan rock, sound system, hip-hop, raggaoili, ska or gypsy jazz, electro, we understand that the underground remains the guiding thread for programmers, open to all so-called alternative musical styles. Young and not so young audience. Find the programming online on the website.

An atypical address as there are still too few in the Panier and in Marseille. Le Latté is a restaurant but also a unique concert place, with its vaulted cellar dating back to the ^12th century. A café-concert in which one comes to appreciate a concert of jazz or salsa as well as to taste a home-made and seasonal cooking. The musical program can be followed on social networks. On the plate, tatin of candied onions and oyster mushrooms, pecan nuts, roasted razor clams with parsley butter, then back of cod roasted with herbs or Charolais beef chuck braised for seven hours, creamy polenta and butternut mousseline with orange. Amazing, as long as it lasts!

This magnificent 1829 building, restored in a baroque style of origin, has the apse of the ancient church of Dominicans (second half of the th century). The pediment representing the two angels is a work by Tarasconnais Jean-Barnabé Amy, a renowned sculptor whose famous «Tambour Drum» still rises on the square of Cadenet in Vaucluse. The municipal theatre offers a programme worthy of the largest French rooms. From theatre, dance, humor, coffee-theater, opera and opera, there are for all tastes.

To program enriching and entertaining outings throughout the year. In an auditorium that can accommodate almost 300 people, a succession of top-quality shows, with an emphasis on contemporary writing. These include great classics with modern interpretations, original creations, as well as magic, dance and circus performances, some of which take place outside the theater! A real cultural bubble of air. The program is varied, so everyone, whether solo or with the family, can find their own show.

At the foot of the Beams, and over 4 acres, the academy offers its roundabout, a concert hall with 120 seats, a flexible club-house, Bistrot du Jour. Horse breeders Lusitanians, Joël Laugier and Michel Levieuge learned the dressage according to the principles of the riding from the 18th century. They present high-level riding shows: training days, educational or gala evenings with "royal roundabout at the court of king". Possibility of carriage rides.

Announced for 2019, the new large cinema on the Canebière will finally be inaugurated in October 2021. A real event intended to give a cultural boost to the main artery of downtown Marseille. The building is a jewel box of modernity, with elegant geometric shapes. The cinema has 7 screens and offers mainstream films as well as a more alternative selection. The comfort and equipment are top of the range. On the first floor, the Blum brasserie. On the roof, an amazing rooftop, the Réformés. A major cultural venue!

We knew them by their evenings organized in various places of the city, the Garage Comedy Club of Marseille emancipates itself and opens in September 2021, its own room, entirely dedicated to the stand-up and the improv. Reservations are recommended for each night, you pay the artists by the hat once you are there. Good time and laughter guaranteed. We love the concept, the atmosphere instilled by the organization, the benevolence of the public and the courage of the more or less experienced comedians. The kind of place that Marseille was missing.

In the heart of Old Antibes, the association Théâtre de la Marguerite has managed the La Scène café-theater on Sea for fifteen years. It is an opportunity to discover unmissable programming. Initiated by Monette Candella, passionate shows, forced the appointment of the lovers of the genre is it.

Monette does not stop there. We owe it the creation and the organisation of Beef theatre which displays a number of talents - Florence Foresti, Dany Boon, Anne Roumanoff and many others -; Femin' arte which of course blends various artistic disciplines such as theatre and the visual arts, the tales for children... and as its name suggests it gives the opportunity to a large number of artists women express themselves. Le Théâtre de la Marguerite: we love a bit, however, passionately...

The oldest cinema in the world. This is where the first public and paying projections of the history of the seventh art took place when the industrialist Antoine Lumière bought a house in La Ciotat. In 1895, Auguste and Louis Lumière invented the cinema and turned around twenty holiday films, including the very famous film «The arrival of a train at La Ciotat station». Later in the 1930 s, the Eden was both a film and a music hall where Yves Montand, Bernard Blier and Fernandel began. In the 1980 s, however, with the assassination of his manager, the room fell slowly into oblivion and closed its doors in 1995. Renovated in 2013, Eden Théâtre is now the dean of cinemas in the world. Cinema of art and essay, it is animated by the association Les Lumière de l 'Eden, which makes it daily that the cradle of the cinema, the monument of cultural heritage became the symbol of a city where it is good to live together. A magnificent room with time seats and an atmosphere out of time, the filmmakers will be filled! Programming to be followed on the website. To do absolutely.

The Cinémathèque de Montagne is a must-see event for film and mountain lovers. Its immersive exhibition, featuring 60 film extracts, plunges you into the heart of mountain life. Its virtual reality area offers a breathtaking view of the Hautes-Alpes.

An ideal destination for all those who dream of wide open spaces and spectacular images.

It offers a varied program for young audiences, with shows combining acrodance, drawing, video and plastic installations.

The Théâtre des Doms is a guest house and relay for all artistic expression and cultural dynamics in French-speaking Belgium, Wallonia and Brussels. It participates in a wide range of projects, including Ajmi, Les Hivernales, Scène nationale de Cavaillon, Culture.com and Cité Nez Clown... During the Avignon Festival, it hosts six or seven companies selected from a hundred or so applicants for a multidisciplinary program of theater, dance, circus and young-audience shows.

Akwaba, this is welcome in Baoulé (Éthnie of Côte d'Ivoire) and since its creation, this highly friendly and fresh place is dedicated to ensuring that this small structure carries its name well. It is well received, and it also welcomes good ideas, good energy and good vibration. At the beginning of a concert with a certain reggae-dubb orientation, Akwaba has evolved well and opened its horizons to offer us beautiful benefits today. Start with its multi-disciplinary and unruly programming combining current music, street arts, dance, theatre, cinema or exhibition when it is not a good contest for bowls or gardening!

Akwaba also acts outside its walls and runs workshops in prisons for example. A good example to follow is their community garden and their desire for sustainable development, which makes it possible to rent its cup in a way that does not pollute too much on the evening evenings or that the rain water is recovered. The team is very dynamic, very friendly and we welcome here one of its truly impossible members, André Courage, who is no more, or less than the official cat of Akwaba. The matou of the Matouses somehow…

One of Marseille's latest cinemas, this multiplex has thought big. In a building designed by the artist Ora-Ïto, you'll find a blend of modernity and comfort. 14 screens and the best technological innovations. Among them, a Dolby Cinéma room, a 4DX room and a Premium area for those who want to live an intense experience. Special rooms like the Tediber for children or the Cocoon for lovers. Here, cinema is experienced to the full. It's beautiful and efficient. The staff are few and far between, however, and everything is automated, which is rather sad, but it has to be said that Marseille now has an ultra-modern cinema.

Cannes Radio is a sparkling, fresh and brilliant program! The Côte d'Azur radio station is a hit, with an ever-growing audience thanks to its dynamic and varied programming.

The Makeda is a popular place for a drink and good music right next to La Plaine. A concert hall and dancefloor where all forms of artistic expression find their place.

Created by Sam Harkand & Cie in 2000, this theater is happily developing its specificity: expressionist theater. Inspired by commedia del arte, burlesque and cabaret, this technique opens up new possibilities for the actor. Masks, clowns, jesters and puppets take to the stage in direct dialogue with the audience. The actors, with their singular acting style, create a colorful universe of expressive bodies, costumes and music. A place of residence and creation for companies, it is also a training ground for rediscovering these rare techniques.

When summer comes, Alexis Gruss and his old-fashioned circus in the 13-hectare park of the castle of Piolenc. And as always, the magic happens. Each season, a new show with its marvelous horses, the acrobatics of the horsemen, the jugglers, the balancing acts. We would not miss the clown show for anything in the world. You must follow the botanical tour, the projection of old films. The ultimate privilege, it is also possible to visit the stables. And also the museum which contains some nuggets!

Gérard Gélas established this theater in 1971 in the Sainte Catherine chapel.

This theater is part of the five Scènes d'Avignon, that is to say the five permanent theaters agreed by the city with the Chêne Noir, the Halles, the Balcon and the Carmes. In July, during the festival, the Théâtre du Chien qui Fume and the Salle du Petit Chien are places where you will certainly find quality shows where humor is not absent! All year long, the theater offers a varied program: music, dance, theater, conferences, exhibitions.

Every year, in parallel to the festival, another little rendezvous makes a nice name for itself. It's the festival Théâtr'Enfants.

During the year, the association programmes shows and artistic meetings with young people, early-learning workshops in leisure centres, schools and cultural structures. During this time, parents can go and see a play.
