Locals or visitors, the Dôme de Gascogne will not leave you indifferent..
Reaching over 40 metres high, this permanent marquee carries the colours of Auscilles and its impressive dimensions are just one of the many original features of this 21st century marquee
It is a real venue for shows, during the Circa Festival and during the cultural season or other events, and offers a capacity of 680 seats and up to 1000 seats for concerts or other standing events.
Thanks to its modern and original design, with its wooden frame without interior mats and its double insulating canvas, the Dôme de Gascogne offers several configurations which favour the diversity of the proposed shows. Its height under the dome is 20m, (13m under the grill), its interior dimensions are 25x40m.
A unique insulation process in France. Its wooden framework is made up of 22 pillars 20 metres high and 2 tonnes each, covering 1000 m2 without interior masts. The sound and heat insulation is provided by a double cloth: one inside black, the other outside white which does not absorb heat. Between the two, an insulator avoids the heat loss of traditional tents. All the while providing ideal "working" conditions for the artists.
