A place worth knowing

Some cultural places make sense even without a ticket. The freely accessible halls at CENTQUATRE welcome people practising, watching and passing through. Go with curiosity and let the day’s activity determine how long you stay.

The open spaces are free and do not require reservations; performances and other programmed events have their own conditions. Available practice areas change with the programme, so follow staff guidance and leave room for others. Use the public entrance on rue Curial. The photograph shows the building in 2012, rather than today’s programme.
