Culture Issoire

Tobacco, press, lottery, gifts, an ideal location just a few dozen metres from the abbey and its parking and near the avenue de la gare. This is a reason enough to explain that the Le Cortes drains a crowd of people, employees, high school students, or revenant from Clermont-Ferrand, tourists visiting Saint-Austremoine… not to mention the attendance of Saturday morning, the market day. But the real reasons for this success are undoubtedly the kindness and availability never of the owners… and for nearly fifteen years.

Gifts, tobacco, newspapers including a good choice of foreign newspapers.

Now the evening of the show the normal fare is applied systematically at the box box, except the Free Pass card. Book three shows to benefit from the subscription rate.

The objective of the centre is to offer the general public a broad vision of what contemporary art offers, in a world where videography and digital technology are becoming increasingly important, without neglecting more traditional techniques such as painting or sculpture. You can also admire the magnificent woodwork in the exhibition rooms. For several years now, plastic arts workshops, readings, conferences and guided tours of each exhibition have been offered to schoolchildren, but also to adults and the public of associations.

Books in books, periodicals to be consulted on site or to borrow, cd and DVD. Interesting for seasonal visitors, the holiday card. Open Tuesday and Friday afternoon, Wednesday all day and Saturday continuously from 9 am to 16 pm.
