La Coursive/Scène Nationale La Rochelle, Performance arts venue in La Rochelle, France
La Coursive is a performance center in La Rochelle with three halls of varying sizes. The Grand Theatre seats approximately 1000 people, while the two smaller halls with around 300 to 400 seats each allow for more intimate events.

The venue serves the local community with diverse artistic offerings, from contemporary theater to classical music performances. Audiences engage regularly with new works and artists that shape the city's cultural life.
Visitors should check the venue's website to learn about current performances and availability. Its downtown location makes it easy to reach, and the different hall sizes mean there is something for most tastes and interests.
A technical tunnel connects all three performance halls, enabling efficient movement of stage equipment and personnel between the spaces. This hidden infrastructure ensures smooth operation of productions behind the scenes.
