200 Quai de Valmy · Paris 10Not quite a concert hall. Not simply a gallery. And never just a bar. Along the canal, Point Éphémère is where independent music, contemporary art and Parisian creative life overlap.

LIVE MUSIC / ART / CANAL CULTURE
02 / A place without one definition
ART FIRST.
MUSIC ALWAYS.
Set in an industrial canal-side space, Point Éphémère brings together concerts, exhibitions, creative studios, performances and a sociable terrace. The programme changes, but the independent spirit stays.
It is a place for the curious: one evening might centre on a band, another on an exhibition, an electronic set or simply conversation beside the water.
03 / Three ways to experience it
One address.
Many scenes.
Art in motion
Exhibitions, performances, workshops and creative activity bring a different rhythm to the building beyond the concert calendar.
The canal ritual
Meet over drinks or food beside Canal Saint-Martin, then move from the terrace into whatever is happening inside.
