A truly accessible culture

Culture must not be a privilege. This requires ambitious pricing policies, local facilities, and programming that reflects the city's diversity.

Libraries: genuine free access, no tokenism

Free access to libraries is a good measure. It moves towards equality. But a real cultural policy is not limited to removing membership fees: it also requires adapted opening hours, renewed collections, enough cultural workers, and a presence in all neighbourhoods.

Local culture and support for local artists

• Support for local cultural spaces (associations, performance venues, artists' studios).
• Programming that showcases Montpellier artists and the world cultures present in the city.
• Accessible creative spaces in every neighbourhood.
