Concert halls Provence

Alongside the Quai du rire located in the same complex, the Comédie Club Vieux-Port has made a name for itself in the Marseilles comedy scene, especially in stand-up and improv. Ideally located on the Old Port in the heart of the Kev Adams space, you will find here a friendly, intimate room, allowing you to be close to the artists on stage. The cream of the local scene, recognized or not, headliners and a very nice atmosphere for the stand-up evenings which allow to reveal the talents of tomorrow. Marseille is rich in talent at this level - also and places like the Comédie Club Vieux-Port allow the blossoming of these nuggets!

The Eden Cinema is a cinema as we like it. It smells good the cinema of our childhood while being equipped with a digital room offering the best projections. It is inseparable from the cultural and associative news of the village. Its programming is of great quality and offers the latest releases, both blockbusters and films of authors. It also offers the program of the Royal Opera House broadcasted live! It is the partner of the literary prize of the "Novel that feels good". In 2019, the Eden celebrated its 100 years. A monument!

Apart from the offices and the Christian life, the parish Notre-Dame-du-Mont regularly organises outings (type hikes, pilgrimages…) and various concerts, thanks to a formidable acoustics: classical, but also jazz and folk music. Let's remember that in 1839 Frédéric Chopin in person pianota for the funeral of a friend during his passage to Marseille. At Christmas, the atmosphere is particularly moving.

As its name suggests, you will not find the last blockbusters here, but rather program of documentaries, based on the life of people and the districts. In the era of the relative democratisation of access to video equipment, it is made the relais from small local producers and directors, and offers workshops to young people and less young people in the area. Images and Paroles Engagées is an association created in May 2001 domiciled in the 15th district in Marseille. To film people, simply! Such is the currency.

As there is not only one, the Cri du Port declares itself to be "the place of all jazz(es)". Since 1981, the association federates and programs in its own concert hall and outside the walls major artists of the French scene, talents to be discovered, from solos to quintets, from bebop to free jazz, rather for the purists. Located in the Saint-Lazare district, it is in a former protestant temple that most of the concerts are held. Member of AJC (action jazzé croisé), of Jazz sur la ville, and of many other federations, the association also proposes punctual dates outside the walls, and a program for the young public. Far from being a simple jazz club, the Cri du Port is a contemporary music venue dedicated to jazz and improvised music as well as a concert hall.

The intermediary is a known place of all those who visit the plain of the plain at night. We'd think it's always been implanted there. He made a new skin a few months ago, not changing the concept. Concerts, djs and guaranteed accessibility for all parties and curious around the corner. The size of the site was slightly reduced since the floor is now no longer open. This does not alter the quality of its local and diversified programming in all musical genres.

Exodus is in fact a religious organisation (Action Africa Asia) which organises a variety of events (exhibitions, meetings, lectures) including impressive enough concerts for those who know each other there a little. Star in their countries, the humbly artists come to present their musical or song recitals in the small 80 seats near the cours Julien. It is the kingdom of the world music in Marseille, constantly led by a dynamic team and engaged in the defence of the minority cultures.

Since 1984, the Julian space has been the reference for the Marseille Alternative Concert Hall. Located on the Ju course, the concert hall and coffee are musical spaces where Djs animate memorable evenings and the programmers take date for their artists. The Espace Julien can accommodate up to 1,000 people and remains one of the indispensable scenes for contemporary music. An eclectic programming that connects as much with hip-hop as rock, electro or text song. Over 30 years of existence and the Espace Julien did not take a ride: always familiar with national and international musical news. Some parties are free and on registration via the website, especially within the Julien Café, a more intimate space open to local producers and artists to meet their audience. Unavoidable!

Le Moulin is a former neighbourhood cinema and theatre, formerly known as the "Moulin bleu", not far from the enormous Dome. He has built up a reputation of esteem in the music world over the course of his previous programming, which has given the turners confidence. If you are told Noir Désir in Marseille in 1989, look no further, it was at the Moulin. Nick Cave, My Bloody Valentine, Tricky, Placebo, Oasis, Femi Kuti as well. Today, new premises, new gauge with 1,450 seats, and new programming. A club of 350 people offers DJ nights, not forgetting artistic and technical support for local artists (SMAC system).

You have to enter the beautiful Old Charity centre to find this tiny movie that is a pure wonder. Those who practise films otherwise than for "dragouiller" Columbine will be in angels. No Hollywood staff. Cinema often takes place by theme and we loved the week devoted to Asian cinema, with Pm's masterpieces, Jia Zhang or Hong Sang Soo.

From the same quality as its immediate Salsa Café neighbours, you can enjoy an extra evening on Saturday evening from 20 h, the restaurant. There you can enjoy an aperitif, a complete meal with wine and coffee included. Then, until 1 p. m. it's the hot salsa with even initiation, animations and demonstrations. Then, until 5 p. m., this is the more usual club atmosphere with disco, dance and house. The full evening will cost you € 35 or € 15 if you choose not to dine. Please note that Salsa Café can organise group evenings, works committee and birthday…

Why don't you develop the artistic side of your little blonde head? For that, the DivadloTheater is the place for you! From a very young age, you can attend fun shows, take part in courses (from 4 years old) or workshops (from 7 years old). A calendar rich in diversity, improvisation, magic, musical and theatrical awakening, a team of thunder to awaken the perhaps still unsuspected talent of your offspring. The shows for the little ones are delicious moments to share with the parents. During the school holidays, the theatre is very active. All information about programming and registration can be found on the website.

On the Quai Rive-Neuve proudly stands the Théâtre de La Criée, the national theater housed in Marseille's former fish market. A former meeting place for fishermen and fishmongers, it is now a mythical cultural meeting place under the sensitive, modern direction of Macha Makeïeff since 2011. According to its director, the theater is "a factory of images and the imaginary, open to all". Even today, the voices of this former market hall are heard loud and clear, its soul palpable and preserved. The interior comprises a large 800-seat auditorium with specially designed machinery, plus another 200-seat auditorium. On arrival, spectators enter a huge hall, a preface to contemporary theater and the most diverse forms of writing performed within it by the most singular thinkers.

Take advantage of the present moment by creating opportunities to come to Carpe Diem, a theatre that, in seventeen years'time, has always taken the party to defend the texts and to open up on the life of the city. For the young public at the beginning of the year "A king, a flower and other colours" by Cie L'A (i) r to Say, and for any audience, "Hallucinémation" by Gilles Azzopardi by the Cie des Improbable.

Do we still need to introduce Toursky, the mythical theater founded by Richard Martin, one of Marseilles' leading cultural figures? This theatrical and human adventure is militant and committed to the fight against exclusion, obscurantism and intolerance. Each season brings a new batch of plays, with a novelty for young people, popular shows, superb sets and celebrities who often come to perform. The eclectic program includes plays, cabaret, cine-theater, cinema, poetic circus, dance, concerts, comedy, one-man shows, art exhibitions and more. The full program is available on their website.

Three years ago, the Mini-Theatre underwent significant transformations: renovation of the boxes and the technical grill. It is therefore in a technically more efficient and comfortable space that this small theatre of the shopping Cart welcomes artists and Spectators. In the image of La Wasteland, another wall theatre, located on the next number, with whom it shares the programming of the Lenche, the Mini reflects a cultural action associated with the life of the neighborhood. Theatres of entertainment, but also places of meetings with the public, dialogues with artistic teams, general rehearsals open to inhabitants of the 2nd arrondissement, moments of exchange on the essential issues that the show raises. When theatre creates a social link, it is often in these small places that are found by local troops. Same shirts for the Théâtre de Lenche, Wasteland du Panier and Mini-Théâtre. As the gauges are relatively small, reservations are strongly recommended.

One of the most important scenes of French rap and hip-hop and which received the label of "Scène de musiques actuelles". An essential venue in Marseille which develops a work of accompaniment with artists and labels of the territory of Bouches-du-Rhône. The project carried out since the 90's by the R'Vallée association aims at clearly committing itself in a process of cultural democratization by promoting the diversity of the offer in the contemporary music landscape. Numerous workshops and actions are organized: DJ school, artists' residences, Buzz Booster... A rap scene which proposes a sharp programming with artists like La Méthode, Dj Djel, 2 Bal de Neg, Kacem, Casey, La Rumeur... You will have understood it, L'Affranchi, it is "the" rap scene not to be missed!

This place is simply magical and Jimmy is a clown! Not only, it is the toys and games for children, but this shop is also entire reserved for the supply of the circus. It abounds in an incalculable number of objects including the common denominator is idyllic: dream of, juggling stilts or balance. This is the place to go for or that practices one of the numerous disciplines of the capital. But also the games and toys to old and collection, the magic, games and casino...

A small vaulted room with exposed stones that turned into a jazz temple where the fans of noble art love to find themselves.

Scene of Contemporary Music - Regional Espace de Rehearsal - Pôle Information Music…

The location is one of the references SMAC (current music scene). The Grenier à Sounds plays active eclecticism and there are for all trends: song, rock, metal or jazz, music of the world and electro… This place is not only a place of broadcast, it also offers a regional rehearsal area (studios, workshops…) and a music information center (resource center and advice specialized in the field of current music). Expos, a springboard for young trainings, artists'residences, the policy of this scene bears fruit and ensures an excellent reputation that it deserves.

This theatre was built in the early part of the s and was built in a different theme each year, with musical, musical and theatre performances. Internships, actions, interventions, literary cafés, readings are in a different way, rich programming. You can count on a different show per week. The bar is open every evening for an hour and a half before the shows.

Cherrydon is a rather famous concert hall in the region. For many years, it has mainly specialized in "tribute" concerts (Led Zeppelin, Sting...). Every month, the Cherry' develops a dense programming rather focused on rock and variety. The audience is rather composed of forty and fifty year olds, the atmosphere is good and without any headache. The look-alike shows (Sardou, France Gall...) are particularly appreciated. A nearby restaurant, the Comme à la maison, will welcome you in the early evening. A real piece of local popular culture, atypical. From time to time, American big names perform there.

Between 8 and 12 projections are planned each week in this modern cinema room, comfortable and very good acoustics that also plan movies in 3 D. At the poster, all the successes of the national and international office box, but also of art and trial films in original version (cinema is classified as Arts and essays since 2009), youth cycles and Cycles cycles proposed by the Franco-Italian twinning committee. Open all year round, this cinema is a real plus for this village of less than 4 000 inhabitants.

In summer, the roof terrace of La Friche comes alive and opens to the general public for DJ sets, concerts and open-air cinema. It's the place to be for the inhabitants of Marseilles to enjoy the animations and the magnificent view. You can discover Marseilles from a very urban point of view. With family or friends, you can enjoy the "spot" with its deckchairs, its food trucks andits bar. The public is varied, family and festive. On Thursday, it's a picnic for families.

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.

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 theater hosts theater and contemporary circus performances, artist residencies and exhibitions. It offers a varied program for young audiences, with shows combining acrodance, drawing, video and plastic installations. The Pôle is also a place of residence for artistic companies, with theatrical writing residencies and artist residencies.

Inspired by Parisian music-halls, this cabaret will allow you to spend a pleasant evening dining and discovering a show that is constantly evolving. During 1 h 30, artists, dance and song professionals, acrobats and comic artists revive the greatest success of music hall in a costumes of costumes. Individual or corporate committee, you can also book for a private evening. There are also the Pupa rooms that you can rent for all kinds of receptions with catering service. More information on their website www.sallechrysalide.fr

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…
