Commentry: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

Commentry’s cultural heritage is partly shaped by the town’s mining past. The Salle du patrimoine Émile Mâle is located in the Espace Culturel La Pléiade.

When planning a stay in Commentry, you may wish to make renting a holiday apartment the focus of your trip.

Monthly film screenings are held at the Théâtre Municipal Alphonse Thivrier. Before each screening, volunteers from the Foyer Culturel introduce the film with a few anecdotes; there is also an interactive quiz. The theatre also offers plays, readings and one-person shows.
