After the war, the survivor became a museum dedicated to the Landing and the bombings of Saint-Lô. Then, in 1948 a cinema, until 1980.

Renovation in 1999

Having become a concert venue, the hall was renovated in 1999, passing from 700 to 900 places. Saint-Lô becomes the only French town of less than 20,000 inhabitants to have such a large place dedicated to current music.
