Bordeaux Theatre and Music
Bordeaux’s cultural centre is the glorious Grand Théâtre, located at the Place de la Comédie. Built in 1780, this magnificent building has been offering theatrical productions for over 200 hundred years. This tradition continues today, with the theatre hosting a busy and diverse performance schedule throughout the year, including opera, classical music, ballet and plays.
Live music is also enjoyed in Bordeaux, with several venues putting on regular shows. From the salsa, bachata and merengue to live electro-jazz, from blues to jazz and even Irish music, there is a venue to suit your every mood
Beyond organising interesting leisure activities, we also help students find out about social and cultural events, how to find accommodation or a job, how to undertake the administrative processes they require for their stay in France (car rental, opening a bank account, joining a sports club, etc.). We also help organise company visits for professionals.
