How to Get There
The most convenient way to reach La Seine Musicale is by public transportation. To visit from central Paris, take metro line 9 to Pont de Sèvres or the T2 tram to Brimborion. The theater is located just a short walk away from both stations, on Île Seguin.

When to Get There
To see a show at La Seine Musicale, plan to prebook admission online, and arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime to print tickets and find your seat. To dine at the venue, call in advance to book reservations at one of the on-site restaurants. Ask for outdoor seating in Paris' warmer months—June, July, and August—and expect crowds over the summer months and during weekend performances.

Where to Take a Garden Stroll
Before heading inside for a performance, visitors should climb the staircase along the facade of La Seine Musicale to find its manicured Bellini Gardens. As you wander the carefully cultivated green space, enjoy plants reflecting the biodiversity of the region and fantastic views of the River Seine. The gardens are open Wednesday to Sunday, from late morning until sunset.
