Music Venues in Douai
Douai's L'Hippodrome is a 1,200-seat converted racecourse grandstand hosting concerts and theatre since 1990. The Musée de la Chartreuse provides intimate classical settings, while the beffroi-crowned Grand'Place hosts the famous Giants festival each July.
Hippodrome de Douai seats 800 in this northern French city of 40,000 in the former mining basin. The Gayant Giants UNESCO-recognised procession (since 1530) demonstrates major outdoor event capacity while the belfry heritage adds Flemish character. The distinct identity from neighbouring Lille (35km), canal setting, and Beffroi tradition create intimate regional programming.
