Six main venues offer a broad spectrum of cultural events, including contemporary dance, all sorts of concerts, innovative festivals as well as thematic series: the Royal theatre for traditional forms and classical music; the 'Théâtre le Manège' for contemporary theatre and dance; the 'Carré des Arts' for summer festivals; the 'Arbalestriers hall' for participating, new forms, residencies, seminars and the Auditorium Abel Dubois mainly dedicated to the younger audience. The main forum for contemporary music is Arsonic, which houses the ensemble Musiques Nouvelles.
