There's no shortage of concert venues in Paris. From theOlympia in the center of the capital to theAccor Arena in the southeast, not forgetting the Cigale, Trianon and Elysée Montmartre in the north, the possibilities are endless. In the northeast, residents are also spoilt for choice between the Trabendo, the Zenith, not forgetting the Cité de la Musique and the impressive Philharmonie de Paris.
Inaugurated in January 2015, the Philharmonie de Paris was designed by leading architect Jean Nouvel. For this cultural venue, he imagined an innovative architecture fully integrated into the Parc de la Villette and the outskirts of Paris.
While the Philharmonie regularly hosts exhibitions, the venue is also known for its sublime Grande Salle Pierre Boulez, an enveloping, modular auditorium. With a seating capacity of 2,400 in symphonic configuration, and 3,500 in contemporary music configuration, the hall offers true intimacy. " A very real sensation, since the distance between the conductor and the last spectator is only 32 meters (compared with 48 meters at the Salle Pleyel)," explains the Philharmonie de Paris on its website.
Renowned for hosting Jazz à la Villette and the Days Off Festival since 2010, the Philharmonie de Paris opens its doors all year round to a wide range of concerts, from classical music to rock, neo-classical and rap. Discover the upcoming Philharmonie de Paris concerts you won't want to miss!
