This unusual venue has been restored to all its art deco glory (pink facade, mosaics, wrought-iron elements, stained glass windows) while making it modern and comfortable. Another big advantage of the venue is its capacity: 3,000 m² available for private hire. The 390-m² Espace Debussy, reached by a listed staircase, can seat up to 270 people. The 946-seat Berlioz amphitheatre has exceptionally good acoustics and lends itself to creative scenography.
