Le Périscope is a living space dedicated to the creation and dissemination of free and innovative music. Centered on jazz and improvised music, its artistic direction spans an open, genre-defying range where new world music, electronic and traditional music, experimental aesthetics, rock and hip-hop also converge.

Somewhere between a music laboratory and a cabinet of sonic curiosities, it sustains an intimate space, open to everyone, where today’s shifting musical aesthetics and practices find room to express themselves.

Both a concert venue and a space for creation and artist residencies, as well as shared offices and a resource hub, Le Périscope hosts a constellation of projects and initiatives in service of artists, audiences, and creation itself.

Le Periscope
Original space of the creation of Le Periscope in 2007. A club that lives daily, with intimate concerts, cultural café, counter and convivial space. A stage for concerts to be experienced as close as possible to the artists.

The Canteen
Daily dining space. Musicians, producers, employees, volunteers, and partners meet and eat together when they are at Le Periscope. A canteen that fosters the conviviality of the place and provides a catering service for events.

La Grande Scène
Opened in November 2020. A stage at the heart of the artists’ creative spaces. A theatre for innovative music, for concerts to be contemplated.

Shared Offices
Team offices and workspaces for labels, tour promoters, media, festivals and music producers supported within the Ateliers Lobster project. A shared, collaborative workspace.

Training Rooms
Workspaces to support project leads and emerging entrepreneurs.

With more than 150 events a year, Le Périscope’s programming invites a wide range of audiences to encounter diverse musical experiences on a daily basis, shifting according to intention: on the club’s intimate stage, right on the floor, at the bar counter, or facing the main stage. In this way, local and international proposals, avant-garde and popular projects, come together in a space devoted to letting all these forms coexist. Beyond concerts, our café-culturel also hosts screenings, talks, workshops and conferences, inviting audiences to broaden their knowledge and engage with the issues shaping today’s society.
