So, are you looking for a good deal?
Take a trip to the Hauts-de-Seine to discover this strange building, which has been standing in the middle ofIle Séguin in Boulogne-Billancourt since 2017. Conceived as a "musical destination",La Seine Musicale boasts an imposing 6,000-seat concert hall, "La Grande Seine", a 1,150-seat auditorium and various rehearsal and recording spaces.
Designed by architects Jean de Gastines and Shigeru Ban, the Seine Musicale is an architectural challenge, as theauditorium sits on the Seine and "its wooden shell seems to float on the Parisian river". During the Journées du Patrimoine 2025 (Heritage Days 2025), discover all the secrets of this venue, which has quickly become an essential part of the region's cultural life.
La Seine Musicale opens its doors on Sunday, September 21, 2025 from 10am to 6pm.
This open house day offers a wide range of activities: guided tours of the building and concert halls, indoor and outdoor concerts, open rehearsals, dance, masterclasses, discovery of the new immersive installation at SeineLab, a place for experimentation with sound and digital technology, and its workshops for young audiences, virtual reality experiences... and many other surprises! A friendly, free day of open access* to discover the colorful programming of the 2025/2026 season by La Seine Musicale, the Département des Hauts-de-Seine and the residents. The Heritage Days are of course an opportunity to (re)discover the building designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, in association with Frenchman Jean de Gastines, inaugurated in April 2017.
