Une salle très agréable, l’acoustique est très bien, enfin une salle de spectacle à taille humaine.

Nous avons assisté à un spectacle humoristique à La Cité des Congrès de Valenciennes et c’était une très belle expérience ! La salle est magnifique et le personnel très accueillant. Cependant, un petit point négatif : le premier rang du balcon. Le mur est un peu trop proche, ce qui rend difficile de bien voir la scène quand on est assis dans le fauteuil. Malgré cela, l’ensemble reste très agréable et je recommande cet endroit pour les événements.
