Mostra Galerie · Decré • Free
Aurélia Frey turns her grandmother's story into a photographic tale drifting between Lozère and Tuscany, two lands one imagination refused to separate. Tender, memory-soaked, and free to see.

Les Petites Écuries - Arts du feu et du faire · Nantes
Black "mermaid's purses" (the keratin pods that cradle ray embryos) anchor Abderrahmane Cheref's meditative installation of clay imprints, burnt wood, and cast metal, all conjuring a fossilized seascape in a hushed gallery.
Every day at 11pm from Sep. 26 to Nov. 8
L'Atelier · Saint-Clément

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
