Situated near the centre of Besançon, in a “cultural” district punctuated by the Cité des Arts, the cultural wasteland of Les Prés de Vaux and the Bastion. La Rodia organises more than 80 evenings a year and welcomes 38,000 spectators a year, with in addition two highlights that mark the season: The Detonation Festival (end of September) and the Génériq Festival (mid-February). Built on stilts (a project of the Denu et Paradon architectural firm), it includes a 600 m2 esplanade, 2 concert halls (900 and 320 standing places), 1 bar hall, 1 information-resource area, 2 creation studios, 3 dressing rooms, 1 catering and an administrative complex.
