Audiolight & Music: sound, lighting and music since 1983

On the doorstep of Agen, in the town of Boé, Audiolight & Music has been supporting musicians, venues, schools, associations, companies and public institutions in all their sound, lighting and music projects since 1983.

Created by François Grenier in a 25 m² shop in Agen, the company has grown step by step to become a leading regional player, bringing together under one banner Audiolight & Music, La Maison du Piano, Laubertaux Lutherie and Lauret Musique.

Since 1983, a story built step by step

In 1983, François Grenier founded Audio Light, a company specialised in audiovisual and stage lighting, based at 39 rue Richard Cœur de Lion in Agen. Very quickly, he developed the retail side, the technical department and the installation of sound and lighting systems, building a team of assistants, sales staff and technicians around him.

Successive moves to larger premises in Agen and then Boé reflect this growth: a more comfortable sales area, increased stock capacity, expansion of the rental business, a stronger after‑sales service and a growing number of installation projects.

From sound and lighting to the whole world of music

Historically, Audio Light was created to provide sound and lighting for venues, public institutions, schools, associations and businesses in the region. System design, fixed installations, rentals, maintenance and after‑sales service form the core of the B2B activity, backed by a specialised technical team.

Over the years, the focus has broadened to cover the full world of music: development of the instrument department, a strong emphasis on guitars and basses, MAO and DJ gear, HIFI, and the integration of La Maison du Piano to offer a complete piano showroom. Today, the shop is a place where private customers, musicians, teachers and technicians all find tailored advice and equipment.

In parallel, Audiolight & Music has built strong partnerships with local cultural players (festivals, radio stations, cinemas, concert halls, music schools) to stay closely connected to the musical life of Lot‑et‑Garonne and the South‑West of France.

Today: Boé, Villeneuve‑sur‑Lot and e‑commerce

The Boé site now brings together the Audiolight & Music store, the La Maison du Piano showroom and the guitar lutherie workshop, while Lauret Musique in Villeneuve‑sur‑Lot offers a second local store dedicated to instruments, sheet music and services for musicians.

The shared e‑commerce platform lets you see, in real time, which products are available in each shop, place orders online, reserve items and choose between delivery and Click & Collect, with personal support at every stage.

From a first instrument to a concert piano, from sound reinforcement for a venue to a full lighting rig, our team is here to guide you, handle installation and provide long‑term care and support for all your equipment.

An independent company that adapts

Since the beginning, the strength of Audiolight & Music has been its ability to adapt and diversify: meeting the needs of individual musicians as well as festivals, public institutions, large venues and professional installations.

In a world where audio and video are everywhere, the company has continued to innovate, expand and evolve its activities (retail, e‑commerce, technical services, lutherie, fixed installations) while keeping the same guiding principle: a passion for sound, lighting and music in the service of its customers.
