Les Subsistances
Les Subsistances is a large cultural venue for artistic creation and presentation in Lyon's 1st arrondissement. The site covers 22,500 m² of buildings and 16,000 m² of land, and today brings together Les SUBS, recording studios and the École nationale des beaux-arts. An address to explore to feel the creative pulse of the city.
A site with many lives
Les Subsistances brings together Les SUBS, a place for creation, artistic practice and living, the recording studios of the association Les Disques Supadope and, since 2007, the École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon. This coexistence makes the site a lively space where artists, students and the public meet.
A heritage complex
The site has 22,500 m² of buildings and 16,000 m² of land, and is partly classified as a monument historique. This scale explains the sense of space you feel on entering, a world away from a classic theatre.
In the 1st arrondissement
The venue is in the 1st arrondissement, a pleasant area to explore on foot. You can pair it with a stroll through the neighbouring districts, between lanes, squares and quays: a good plan for a half-day mixing culture and walking.
