ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMARY

Les Arenes is located in the town centre of Nimes, France. The venue is a 2000 year old Roman amphitheatre with few modern amenities.


Parking:

The venue is a six minute walk from the Nimes central train station. Concert attendees were encouraged to car share if public transport or bicycle riding were not viable options. The promoter setup a secure bike parking area for fan parking per our request, but it was hardly used.


Energy:

All electricity service was provided by EDF and the venue participates with their day/night tariff program ("heure creuse and heure pleine etude"). There are very few lights throughout the venue.


Recycling:

The venue brought in paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum recycling stations throughout the backstage area.


Catering:

Caterers provided washable plates, cutlery, and biodegradable cups for all meals. Food scraps, tea bags, coffee grounds, and biodegradable cups were collected for composting.


Concessions:

Though there weren't any particularly green concessions practices at this venue, the venue is meticulously maintained as part of its historical significance.


A special thanks to Yann Hervouet and everyone at Corida.
