Opened in 2024, La Cabane has quickly established itself as the new cultural hub of Toulouse’s Left Bank. Located in the heart of the Cartoucherie eco-neighborhood, this versatile venue is shaking up the local scene by blending hybrid productions, comedy, and live concerts in a decidedly contemporary setting.
2,250 m² of industrial history and versatility
The result of a 5 million euro investment, this 2,250 m² venue was collectively designed by Compagnie Architecture (Chloé Bodart and Jules Eymard), the developer Redman, and the Les Halles collective. It highlights the legacy of a former military munitions factory by incorporating original bricks and period steel frames.
Its main selling point is its retractable bleachers: they offer 444 seated seats and up to 758 seats in a seated/standing configuration. This capacity allows the venue to position itself precisely between the Métronum (500 seats), designed ten years ago by the city in Borderouge, and Le Bikini (1,500 seats), the historic temple of contemporary music in Toulouse.
A vibrant, multidisciplinary stage
This spatial flexibility allows the venue to host a particularly diverse lineup throughout the year. From high-energy stand-up comedy to contemporary music concerts and contemporary theater, the space adapts to every format while maintaining a direct and intimate connection between the stage and the audience.
Among the visual highlights, the Ballet of Lights show finds a tailor-made stage here. Wearing light-up costumes synchronized with the music, the dancers create a striking contrast with the venue’s raw, exposed brick walls, offering an immersive experience enhanced by the proximity to the stage.
