Le 106 is one of Rouen’s key concert venues, created through the conversion of a former port warehouse beside the Seine. The building retains its industrial character while functioning as a contemporary venue dedicated to modern live music. The approximately 3,800 m² complex was designed by the King Kong architecture studio, and its main hall can accommodate up to 1,148 visitors depending on the event configuration. The smaller Club has a capacity of up to 318 people and is used for more intimate concerts and performances.
The interior is highly adaptable to different types of shows. The main hall is most commonly arranged as an all-standing venue, but for selected events it can be transformed into a seated or mixed seated-and-standing space, allowing productions to create different relationships between the audience and the stage. The compact Club offers a more immediate concert experience, while the technical facilities, rehearsal rooms and recording studio underline Le 106’s role as a complete contemporary music centre rather than simply a concert hall.
The venue is located at Allée François Mitterrand, Rouen, France, directly beside the Seine. Visitors arriving by car can use Parking des Hangars in front of the 106, 107 and 108 complexes, while the additional Béthencourt car park is situated on the opposite side of Boulevard Jean de Béthencourt.
