Gaîté Lyrique
Description
At the intersection of different arts and disciplines, and housed inside the former Theatre de la Gaîté, a few minutes away from the Pompidou Centre and the Musée des Arts et Métiers, the Gaîté Lyrique is a unique place. In this unclassifiable creative and living space, music, theatre, visual arts, and video games all merge in perfect harmony. You can see an exhibition, enjoy a concert, participate in a meeting or festival on future trends or hip-hop, watch a film screening, learn how to write computer code in a workshop, or play with friends in the video game area, and practically all at once!
A hive of digital culture
The Media Platform bar on the first floor is open every afternoon. Here you can connect to free Wifi, browse through cultural magazines, and play board games. On the second floor, the historic Foyer bar, with its sumptuous décor in a monumental room, is perfect for a drink before a concert. The café Gaîté Lyrique offers lunch on the go made with fresh produce, plus a brunch buffet on weekends. The boutique, a bona fide cabinet of curiosities, gives special recognition to Made in France products, with a selection of designed objects ranging from the completely wacky to the epitome of sophistication.
Keep your visit of the cultural sites in Paris Region going.
