People come here to listen to music, they often come with friends, and they always come for the convivial moments that make life more beautiful. La Sirène has become a must for those who want to vibrate to the rhythm of the events organised all year round by this major cultural venue in La Rochelle.
Along a boulevard that runs straight to the ocean, a yellow and black big top has been welcoming groups and artists with established reputations since 2011. Patti Smith, M, Gaëtan Roussel, Divine Comedy, Chilly Gonzales, Dominique A, Big Flo et Oli, Dyonisos, Juliette Armanet, Arthur H...: all have already come to express their talents in this space dedicated to contemporary music. While the main auditorium can hold up to 1,200 people standing, it's in the club downstairs, with its two bars and a stage offering a breathtaking view of the harbour and the frescoes glorifying music over the decades, that the evenings begin. The people of La Rochelle and those who have already tried the place know it well, often arriving early so as not to fall behind on the pleasure of being together and enjoying this warm 'village' atmosphere. This moment of sharing is prolonged when the host, David Fourrier, rings the bell to make sure you don't miss the start of the evening's concert. Make way for the artists and the music! Later, when the lights come back on, the emotion is prolonged over a nightcap, a chance to reminisce about these moments of pleasure shared in unison. Occasionally, those who were on stage will join the audience for an autograph session. In all simplicity and for the pleasure of all.
