The Flèche d'Or is housed in the former Charonne train station, on the Petite Ceinture. Until 2016, it was a famous underground concert venue. Today it has a socio-cultural vocation, and is open to all, in an area with strong militant roots against all forms of oppression. Drawing on local initiatives and nine community groups, it programmes concerts, screenings, plays, exhibitions, workshops, a social and solidarity canteen, and a bar.
La Flèche d'Or is part of the network of caring establishments in Paris. It is a partner of the Fêtez Clairs initiative, which covers a range of preventive measures in festive environments and promotes a culture of partying that is conducive to the health and well-being of young people.
