Lundis de l'Arsenal - 28 July 2025

On the programme for Monday 28 July :

7.30pm CORDERIE ROYALE
"GRAVIR" Cie Les Quat'fers en l'air
[Circus / Aerial acrobatics]
To see two women in ski suits arrive at 35°C! What an idea!
It's a choreography that appears between two bodies: Gabi is a dancer, a hopping diva, while Garance, from Quebec, is trying to put words to her new sensations in the middle of a silent piece. They are a duo of stuntwomen ready to do anything to climb the highest peaks... But climate change has melted the snow and all they have left is the skeleton of this enormous mountain. How can they defy gravity?

8.45pm: CLOS LAPEROUSE
ALYSSA GALVAN
[Soul / Funk]
Alyssa Galvan is a 19-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist from southwest Missouri, USA. Alyssa Galvan's music really comes into its own when accompanied by her band of young French musicians. With Matéo Perfetti on arrangements and keyboards, Pierre Cabirol on bass and Lucas Lopes on drums. With her powerful soul/funk/disco/blues influences and her modern touch, the live show is fresh and captivating. The combination of his favourite vintage elements and modern ideas creates a sound that's hard to describe.

8.45pm: PLACE AMIRAL DUPONT
JOAO TRIO
[Pop / Rock]
JOAO has already won over audiences as a solo act, performing soaring pop ballads with contemporary lyrics. Distinguished by his taste for authentic music and the care taken with his compositions and studio recordings, the artist has now joined forces with Tom Bénard on drums and Benjamin Gasseling on bass and double bass. This is a new musical direction for the singer-songwriter, who grew up on the islands, and offers to take his audience on a journey with a fully pop-rock approach, an enveloping melodic universe and a rare voice...

MUSEE NATIONAL DE LA MARINE - Museum open until 9pm (last admissions at 8.15pm)
‘Under the sea’ game visit - 6pm
After a presentation of the Plongeur model, the French Navy's first submarine, it's time for a game! Families try to identify the sounds heard under the sea. Who will find the most?

Escape Game ‘Dans la cale de la Méduse’ - 7pm
The frigate La Méduse has just run aground. Trapped in the hold for questioning the captain's skills, you must escape before the ship sinks. Hurry, time is running out! Join forces to find clues, overcome obstacles and make your escape!

6.30pm - POTAGER DU ROY

LE VOYAGE D'ENTRECASTEAUX, UNE EXPEDITION EXCEPTIONNELLE
In 1791, at the height of the French Revolution, Antoine Bruny d'Entrecasteaux was given a difficult mission: to retrace the steps of Monsieur de La Pérouse, who had disappeared in the Pacific in 1788, and to bring back breadfruit from the Île des Amis. Difficult climatic conditions, difficult political conditions, epidemics... this expedition was exceptional in scientific terms, but dramatic in human terms.
Two-way reading with guide Maryse Vila-Cornellas, accompanied by actress Catherine Sarezza
Information and booking required on the museum website: hebre.ville-rochefort.fr

L'Accro-Mâts, a unique tree climbing experience in Europe installed on a boat, with courses climbing from mast to mast up to 30 metres high. During Mondays at the Arsenal, take advantage of night-time activities, with departures until 9pm and closing at 10pm.

LE RADE DE LA MEDUSE
Right next to the Accro-Mâts, Le Rade de la Méduse is the ideal place to quench your thirst or grab a bite to eat during the summer season, with concerts every week. During Lundis de l'Arsenal, a DJ adds to the atmosphere before and after the concerts for a festive evening on board the Accro-Mâts.

LE CLOS
From 7.30pm onwards, the doors of Le Clos are open for drinks, food and the light of a summer evening in the courtyard of the former Marine abattoirs. At 8.45pm, it's time for a free concert, with something for everyone and in every style, that will take us into the night.

Stop off at Les Longitudes!
