Discover more about La Seine Musicale

La Seine Musicale is a striking cultural venue located on Île Seguin, an island in the Seine River between Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres. Opened in April 2017, it has quickly become a prominent landmark in the western suburbs of Paris. This modern complex is dedicated to music and performing arts, offering a diverse range of events for all audiences. The architectural design, a collaboration between Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines, is both innovative and environmentally conscious. The building's form evokes an ocean liner, with curved lines that complement the island's shape. The complex includes two main performance spaces: the Auditorium Patrick-Devedjian, seating 1,150, designed for acoustic music, and the Grande Seine, accommodating 4,000 to 6,000 for larger events. A unique feature is the mobile solar panel sail that rotates to follow the sun, maximizing energy production. La Seine Musicale hosts a wide array of performances, including classical music, pop, rock, jazz, and dance. It is home to the Insula orchestra and has welcomed renowned international artists. Beyond concerts, the venue also hosts ballets, theater productions, and corporate events. The complex includes rehearsal spaces (Riffx Studios), seminar rooms, restaurants, and a rooftop garden, providing a comprehensive cultural experience. The Île Seguin has a rich history, once owned by Louis XV and later becoming the site of a Renault factory. La Seine Musicale is part of a larger plan to transform the island into a cultural hub, with art galleries and other cultural venues planned for the future.
