The rugby players’ nice move
Big end of the season for Gujan rugby in June. After coming down from Fédérale 1 last season, they offer themselves the return matches of 16e et 8e final at home. But before that, they won at Gennevilliers then at Tours to qualify for the quarter-finals and earn a return to Fédérale 1.
At the same time, the Miroir performance hall signed a partnership agreement with the Olympia d’Arcachon. It allows the City of Arcachon to decentralize some of its shows at Le Miroir as part of the Cadences dance festival, the choreographic course or even the chamber music festival.
A festive summer
July brings its share of festive events, between Monday Impromptus aperitif-concerts, and Jeudis de Larros which find the Place du Pointon on the port. Free concerts and shows attract locals and vacationers in a beautiful atmosphere.
On July 20, the casino offers an open-air opera, “Madame Butterfly”, in the natural area of Lake Magdeleine. The event, full of promise, brought together 4,000 spectators, but the weather took its toll. After just half an hour of performance, the rain came to write another ending to Puccini’s opera, much to the regret of the spectators, singers, choirs and musicians.
