Ekinox is an events venue in Bourg-en-Bresse, the town in eastern France that serves as the administrative centre of the Ain department. It is a place for evenings out rather than quiet sightseeing: concerts, shows and gatherings take place here through the year, so the programme is the best guide to what you will find on any given visit.
Why visit
Ekinox suits travellers who want a live event as part of their stay. Because the venue hosts a range of performances and gatherings, the atmosphere on a night out depends on what is on, so it is worth checking the schedule before you plan your trip.
Making a longer stay
An evening at Ekinox works well alongside other parts of Bourg-en-Bresse. You could combine a show with:
- The historic centre of the town, good for a walk before or after dinner.
- Bresse gastronomy, the regional cooking associated with the Bresse area's produce and tables.
- The nearby Royal Monastery of Brou, a major landmark a short distance from the town.
Together these make for a well-rounded cultural day or weekend, with music or theatre in the evening and history and food during the daytime.
Planning your visit
Since Ekinox is an events venue, opening arrangements depend on the programme rather than fixed daily hours. Look up the current listings for the dates you have in mind, and allow time to explore the town itself, which offers plenty to see around the venue.
