Concert halls Ile-De-France

After an extensive renovation, the Salle Pleyel has been restored to its former glory. Its unique Art Deco style alone is worth the detour. A benchmark for classical music until the 2010s, the Salle Pleyel no longer programmes classical music, as the Philharmonie de Paris has taken over. This may come as a surprise at first, but a quick look at the programme should whet your appetite: Pleyel hosts other musical concerts, plays and numerous other creations.

Along the Quai François Mauriac, one barge follows another - but one really stands out. Between the ultra-modern baths and the Batofar, the Dame de Canton stands out. Over the years, this junk, transported from the South China Sea by an enthusiast, has become a mythical Parisian scene: concerts by young artists, exhibitions, performances, and a relaxed atmosphere are its mainstays. In summer, a terrace is set up on the quay, ideal for an aperitif while waiting to go up on deck for the concerts.

This old venue, which looks like a Chinese pagoda, has been opened for 150 years. The rounded concert hall, lined with small round tables and red stools, also has as a dance floor. The Bataclan offers an eclectic programme and a wide range of events. It has long been a place to be for concerts, dancing, joy and laughter. Following the tragic Paris attacks of 2015, the Bataclan underwent extensive renovation, proving that life goes on, and has resumed its programming with unfailing zest.

The presentation of European plays in their original language, with French surtitles, is one of the original features of this magnificent 780-seat hall, which is also largely devoted to the French classical repertoire and creation. Punctuated by jolts linked to the historical events that have marked Paris, the existence of the Odeon has been quite eventful. Inaugurated in 1782 by Marie-Antoinette, the hall was built for the Théâtre-Français troupe - architects Marie-Joseph Peyre and Charles de Wailly. It backs onto the Luxembourg Gardens. The Marriage of Figaro, by Beaumarchais, was created there. The Odéon was closed in 1793 for uncivilization and became a place for political gatherings during the Terror.

Returning to show business, the Théâtre-Français changed its name to Odéon in 1796. During the Revolution of 1830, the Place de l'Odéon was a rallying point for the insurgents. The end of the 19th century was marked in particular by the performances of actresses Sarah Bernhardt and Réjane, as well as by the success of L'Arlésienne, by Alphonse Daudet and Georges Bizet in 1885. The beginning of the following century gave the Second Théâtre-Français two important directors, André Antoine and Firmin Gémier, personalities who greatly influenced the development of dramatic art in our country.

A new change came in 1959 with the arrival of Jean-Louis Barrault at the head of the establishment. In the company of Roger Blin, he mounted pieces by Claudel, Beckett, Ionesco, Duras, Sarraute... In 1965, a ceiling painted by André Masson was delivered. May 1968 arrives and the occupation of the theatre by students in revolt. When it reopens, the theatre is given a new status, that of an experimental and test centre. The Odeon then hosts various shows including those of the Theatre of Nations. In 1971, it became the national theatre and was to focus on "creation and research to promote the progress of national and world theatrical aesthetics. Patrice Chéreau and Antoine Vitez work there, as well as Giorgio Strehler, director of the Théâtre de l'Europe, a structure which is joined to the Odéon National Theatre in 1983. Definitively autonomous in 1990, it is directed by Lluís Pasqual, then by Georges Lavaudant from 1996. After three years of work during which the Odéon was decentralised to the Berthier workshops in the 17th arrondissement, the theatre opened again in 2006. In the meantime, the institution has been assigned these workshops as a second site. The current director is Stéphane Braunschweig. The Odéon, according to his ideal, now aims to be "a theatre open to the world and to the crossroads of generations".

Chiselled wood throughout, red velvet, bevelled mirrors... and a ballroom floor that's so good to dance on! This faux-top tent, which seats 1,200, is the offspring of Magic Mirrors, which once occupied the same venue in the Parc de La Villette. The Cabaret Sauvage hosts artists from all musical horizons, with a predilection for rock, reggae, jazz and chanson. It's no coincidence that Goran Bregovic, Khaled, Keren Ann, M, Bratsch, Les Wampas, PJ Harvey and Arno have all played here.

Monumental, facing the Eiffel Tower, in a gigantic building built on the Chaillot hill by architects Léon Azéma, Jacques Carlu, and Louis-Hippolyte Boileau for the 1937 Universal Exhibition, the Théâtre National de Chaillot is a mecca for dance and music. It was here that Jean Vilar established the Théâtre National Populaire - TNP - in 1951. Today, the venue boasts several seats and has established itself as a must-see dance venue.

The Palais Garnier was commissioned by Napoleon III and was one of the key pieces of the major renovation work carried out in the capital by Baron Haussmann. Charles Garnier was the architect. This sumptuous temple of lyrical art and classical dance was inaugurated in 1875 after fifteen years of work. It is admired as much for its architecture as for its programs. There is the famous double revolution staircase that soars under a marble nave of various shades - as soon as it opened, it was adopted by "good society" who liked to show off. The foyers are filled with sculptures and paintings. As for the hall, dominated by red and gold colours, it has a huge and legendary crystal chandelier - 8 tons! - and a ceiling painted by Marc Chagall in 1964. It can accommodate nineteen hundred people. A museum tells, through its collections and temporary exhibitions, three centuries of opera history. The institution is equipped with an orchestra that performs most of the works on the program. The Palais Garnier shares with the Opéra Bastille its productions of lyrical shows, but has remained a Mecca for dance. Some recitals and symphonic concerts are also on the programme.

Just in front of the National Archives, here is an original address since this mansion houses a superb room with exposed beams which is a tavern and concert hall. You can also eat a good French cuisine based on local products and the plates are well stocked. During the day the restaurant looks very chic, but in the evening the tavern welcomes night owls of all ages who come to listen to the groups who perform there, generally from 9pm. It's more like French song and the artists are quite talented. A good place to listen to music in an unexpected place and up to noon ...

You will have to climb the hill of Belleville, get lost in a maze of little frequented streets, but full of charm, and you will find this place so typical, whose name alone sums up the spirit. Here, songs, accordion, evenings dedicated to the kid Piaf, to the barrel organ with Riton the Crank, you will have understood it, one resuscitates a Paris of former days. To have a drink or enjoy a board to share, for a meal with good products, simple cuisine and desserts that hold the body, it is also an excellent place. If the ghosts of the artists of yesteryear hover here, it's no coincidence. You will have understood that this is an institution.

A stone's throw from Place du Tertre, this cabaret restaurant of eighty seats, created in 1928, offers a show preceded by a dinner or a lunch - marinated salmon with mint cream, duck breast with caramel candied pear and snow peas, pineapple carpaccio and coconut ice cream... Singers, illusionists, copycats, ventriloquists and other humorists liven up the evening. The house also offers a guided tour of the old village of Montmartre followed by a lunch show. A must, for which you will book.

Between the passage of pirate battles and buccaneers of all hair, the attack and looting of a Spanish fort of the Caribbean Sea and the sale of prisoners in the slave market, the decor of «Pirates of the Carribean» is planted. Next to the great attractions, the walk through the dark caves and the suspension bridges of Adventure Isle, the discovery of the magnificent galion of Captain Hook or ascension in the Robinson tree, leads you into the universe of flibuste and legend adventurers. But without the thrills of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Danger in a wagonnet that queue towards the exit, the party would not be complete… until the worrying mountain of Frontierland.

Classified as a historical monument, it is a giant cinema with seven theatres. Opened in 1932 by Jacques Haïk, the Rex was an immediate success with its luxurious decoration, its 2,000 m² and its starry-vaulted ceiling culminating at over 30 m. A word of advice: attending a blockbuster preview in this room, especially if the film is in 3D, will give you the impression of being a privileged one. The quality of the projection is exemplary. But the Grand Rex is also a place where concerts and musicals are presented that can fill a hall with more than 2,700 seats on three levels. A museum and a discotheque complete the vast complex.

The discovery begins with Main Street, reconstitution of the main street of a small American town at the very beginning of the 1890 th century, with its colorful wooden shops to the old, ses and other gas beaks… with a possible descent of the street in old car or tramway shot by horses, punctuated and ponctuée by the noise of the crachoteux engine and the alarm. Many restaurants and shops are on the street. You will even have the opportunity to visit the barber for an old cut! At the end, stands majestically at the Château de la Belle au Bois sleeping and on the right, the world of the universe and distant galaxies, a journey over time and space. Your visit would not be complete without the Main Street's final parade, an enchantment for the toddlers, or the tour of the shops of this main artery.

The magical kingdom of the small, but also the larger. Past the Dragon Sleeping Castle and the dragon's den to Steaming depicted, the "It's a small world" magic universe pays tribute to children around the world. " The Theft of Peter Pan "discovers the lights of the city of London. Pinocchio Voyages or desperate puppet efforts to become a little boy. With Snow and the seven dwarfs, we discover the house of the little men and the dark forest on which the wicked witch reigns. Also follow Alice in his maze, virevoltez until you have dizzy in the giant tasses and saucers of the crazy chapelier. Finally, hang in the ears of Dumbo the flying elephant, with a superb view of the park. Everything done to reach the ruthless world of Adventureland.

The Great Epic of the Far West, the conquest of the West, is there, translated by "Big Thunder Mountain", the crazy train of the old mine that gently slides the mountain flanks and plunges into a stream of water. At the entrance to Phantom Manor, watch the dead-die rubbing his hands in the thinking of the unfortunate who will go - poor victims - the threshold of this sinister. Thrills and thrills guaranteed. Sensitive souls… for you to see. To recover from his emotions, nothing like a beautiful walk aboard a paddle boat. Or regain control by drawing on the cactus or the naughty Pat Hibulaire at the Shootin'Gallery.

Rather than an interstellar journey, it's a journey in the time you propose Planet Mars, in the heart of the 1960 s. The place of the place is obviously dominated by red. There are no tables or chairs, but stools and bars to drink cocktails and bottled to the sound of the branchés DJ and soul. Among the clients are nice and cheerful rockers tendance, leather jackets and gomina. And yet, if you're not part of the band, you don't feel at all alien when you get on this planet. We feel immediately welcomed around the small bar in the round of this friendly and well-filled space, under the benevolent gaze of the regulars and toy robots of our childhood shelter in their plexiglas globes. In light of the other bars in the Bastille district.

The Kiosque Théâtre, located on the Place de la Madeleine (west side of the church), offers highly discounted tickets for most current shows, from national theatres to cabarets and cafés-théâtres. We strongly advise you not to wait until the last minute: while there are hundreds of plays to discover, crowds are particularly high, especially at weekends.

Located at the feet of high buildings, typical of the new 13 ^th century built in the last few decades, this district theatre subsidized by the City hall of Paris has been offering performances in 1981 to discover emerging talents, whether they are directors, actors or authors. That said, repertory works are not forgotten. A few names read on the posters in this 250-seat hall theatre: Xavier Durringer, Yasmina Reza, Fabrice Luchini, Gildas Bourdet, Jean-Pierre Miquel, Béatrice Agenin…

It is noted that a Theatre 13 Award helps young directors during a festival each year. The winner sees his work programmed during the following season. Finally, it should be mentioned that the Theatre 13 program three rounds of concerts. There is a lot for everyone.

At the bottom of a paved courtyard, this former multi-year stable has a small theatre of 72 places. The Green Donkey is the place of residence of the Naphralytep Company and the place of programming of the coréalisés shows by the Âne Oreilles Association (OrAne).

The 2 air-conditioned rooms (192 and 144 seats), equipped with Dolby SR and DTS digital sound, offer small but eclectic programming, as it allows for meetings and debates in the cinema walls.

A beautiful cinema room (with 2 films per week) and shows, air conditioned, accommodating 500 people.

This is an unavoidable scene in Val d'Oise, which has already revealed an incredible number of talents, from Sum 41 in Tryo to Cali or Bénabar. The Espace Michel Berger, which everyone now calls EMB, is a large flexible space that can accommodate up to 500 people and whose programming is constantly renewed. Focusing on the new rock scene in the 1990 s, it gradually evolved into what it is common to call today the «new French song». In parallel, the EMB is now a place of residence for artists, as well as a music awareness educational place.

The composer Jacques Offenbach is the pere of this very lovely dining area to Italian. Les Bouffes Parisiens are initially installed in 1855 in Carré Marigny, on the Fields-Élysées. One year later, they migrate towards passage Choiseul. Offenbach creates Orphée with the hells there, before yielding its theater in 1862 to its orchestra conductor, Louis Varney. This one made shave the room to build some another, equipped with thousand hundred places. Specialized in the lyric shows, primarily of the operettas, Puff out them Parisian present works of Emmanuel Chabrier, Louis Viarney (Musketeers with the convent), Robert de Flers, Claude Terrasse. At the beginning of the 20th century, the operetta yields the step to the theater with the creation of rooms of Henry Bernstein and Sacha Guitry (Let us do one dreamed), before returning to the light kind which made its glory - Phi-Phi, of Albert Willemetz and Henri Christiné. Willemetz takes over the leadership of the room and obtains an enormous success with Dédé, played by Maurice Chevalier. Dranem, Guitry, Michel Simon, Arletty, Pauline Carton, Elvire Popesco, then Yves Robert, Danièle Delorme are the large stars of Puff out Parisian in the decades which follow. In 1986, Jean-Claude Brialy takes again the reins of the theater, until its death which has occurred in 2007. The direction is now ensured by Dominique Dumond. Theater, only in scene, song and shows young people divide the poster.

The Forum des images is a 6,000 m² space located in the heart of Paris, in the Westfield Forum des Halles. It offers a varied program of films, debates and meetings with film-makers. The Forum des images also plays an essential role in image education, hosting some 40 events for young audiences every year. Founded in 1988, its mission is to celebrate cinema and moving images. To get to the Forum des images, take the metro (Les Halles or Châtelet stations), the RER (Châtelet-Les Halles station) or the bus (Coquillières Les Halles stop).

The cabaret, perhaps the most famous in the world, is photographed every day by thousands of people, who pose in front of the famous windmill overlooking the district: if the Moulin Rouge is a symbol, it's revues, an absolutely breathtaking show that you must attend at least once in your life. You can of course attend a show with or without a meal, in the morning. The show, dubbed "Féérie", is as impressive as it is finely tuned, a veritable firework display of prowess by the 60 Doriss Girls.

An old corner bar with unpromising decor near the canal: at first glance, that is what this institution of quai de Jemmapes looks like. But once you sit down at the table, you quickly forget the pine cone hanging from the ceiling and the statuettes of bucolic nymphs scattered throughout the bar. This is the kingdom of Adel, who run his small café with good humour and sympathy, a tradition that is lost in the other neighbourhood bars. If we come here, it is not so much for the contents of the glass or the plate (some Syrian specialities are proposed), but for the people with whom we taste them. Here, you will find a few merry regulars, some quite drunk students and idle artists. Every evening or almost, musicians give small concerts, without any fuss. The prices are reasonable, the evenings are always pleasant, especially in summer when the terrace is full of customers enjoying the beautiful days… and beautiful nights!

A fan of the 70 s and the films of Godard, Truffaut and co, welcome to the Grand Action, the establishment that loves the classics. Founded in 1970, this film belonged to the Action network, which proposed a policy of classic film reproductions in new copies in four cinemas (Action Schools, Studio des Grands-Augustins, Action Christine and Grand Action). Since then, two halls have broadcast exclusive American and classic films. The largest room, Henri Langlois (dedicated to the founder of the French Cinémathèque), is absolutely magnificent, with a screen of 10 metres and 223 seats arranged in a drawer. The 3 D has its place in this cinema temple dedicated to great thrills and great moments of action.

As the Theatre of the City, of which it is the second room since 1996, the Theatre des Abbesses offers a high quality programme. Although eclectic, he is very rich in plays. This elegant Italian theatre, which is resolutely contemporary, has 400 seats on the bottom of a courtyard at the foot of Montmartre. His rehabilitation was entrusted to the architect Charles Vandenhove. The decorations of the avant-stage curtain and side galleries were carried out by the painter Olivier Debré. Part of the interior and courtyard is artist Daniel Buren, the rayures man.

Actress Silvia Monfort had long and ardently wanted this theatre, which is located on the edge of Georges-Brassens Park, but unfortunately she died before it opened in 1992. This municipal hall with 460 seats was finally entrusted to Régis Santon. Dramatic art is king, but musical theatre, dance and circus performances are frequently included in the program, as well as concerts and song recitals. The great variety of types of shows and the desire to promote emerging companies remain the strong points of this place rich in proposals and talents.

Red velvet, drapes, golden frames and old chandeliers: this place created at the bottom of a court in 1993 is decorated in a baroque way. It's mainly used for private events, but we regularly serve a rich auditorium of comics, including Wednesday evening for Les Oscars du Laughter. The following went: Jean-Luc Lemoine, Thierry Samitier, Fabrice Eboué, Willy… The famous singers are not the same: Werewolf or Natacha Saint-Pierre also foulé the planks of this place which made one (pre) name in the capital.

Once under the tent now planted near Porte Maillot, let yourself be rocked by the magic created by the founder of this family circus, Alexandre Romanès. Here you will attend an extraordinary show, which pays tribute to the founders of the fairground art, the Gypsies. It is also the last circus of its kind to be found in Europe. You will not see tigers in cages, nor clowns, but acrobats, dancers, a learned dog who is not that knowledgeable... A family and good-natured atmosphere, to such an extent that when one of the young artists from the community fails, the whole audience applauds to encourage him. The orchestra, composed of several guitars, violins and brass, takes up great gypsy themes in a good mood. At the end of the show, Alexandre Romanès delivers some gypsy wisdom. One of our favourite proverbs: "A man is much more ferocious than a tiger. A tiger, you give him fifteen kilos of meat and he's full, a man, you cover him with gold and he wants more! »

Acrobats, clowns, numbers with cats, elephants, tigers, horses… The circus founded by the late Arlette Gruss ensures in the great tradition! A cousin of Alexis Gruss, who led a circus of the same name, it carried out numerous acrobatics to the rope and the trapeze, but became known through a dompteuse number of panthers. She decided to create her own circus in 1985. Despite the difficult beginnings in Ireland, Cirque de France became a reference from 1988 with the panthers of Arlette Gruss, the husband of Arlette Gruss. Five years later, the eponymous circus appears on the small screen for the delight of both small and large. However, everyone can take advantage of his passages in Paris to discover this magical and traditional circus. Today, and despite the disappearance in January 2006 of Arlette Gruss, the circus, taken up by his son Gilbert Mummolo, is always dreaming and has the means of his ambitions: 26 tours, 350 performances per year, 120 employed.

Barely 100 years old and already this theatre has a rich and abundant history! From 1913, it was a real little bomb. First of all, its appearance: nothing traditional, Art Nouveau inside, outside, everywhere. Concrete structure and Art Nouveau architecture are the result of a meeting between Auguste Perret, architect, magnate and concrete theorist, and Henry Van de Velde, innovative architect. Antoine Bourdelle is the author of the travertine facade. Then, the Nabis are exhibited inside: Maurice Denis, Ker-Xavier Roussel, Jacqueline Marval and Edouard Vuillard made interior design an avant-garde piece of early 20th century art. It was inaugurated in April 1913 with Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas and Vincent d'Indy. But it was in May that he caused a scandal by presenting Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps. Since then, the theatre has remained faithful to its avant-garde personality in the creative field of dance. Since then, the theatre has offered a wide programme of events throughout the year in its three rooms, where the decoration, which has remained intact, is in itself a show.

It's a cabaret with all kinds of cabaret shows, sometimes girls, find out! And the stakes are to honour: Foie gras, lobster. The whole is of course accompanied by the pedigree elixir of cabarets, champagne. The magazine invites you in its world of feathers, laughter, paillettes on rhythms of modern jazz, classic, contemporary. On Morgana's voice the live Singer of Caesar Palace, discover a range of artistic performances to join the new generation of magicians, copycats, jugglers and cabaret artists. To finish your evening, enjoy the atmosphere of the 70 s and 80 s on the dance track, and that the party is beautiful!

Marilyn the red and Audrey the blue are confident: The Library of the Latin Quarter is one of the favourite theatres of the regulars in the Sorbonne district. Monroe and Hepburn were at the time of creation of the facility: 1966. After leaving the Action network, the Library underwent a profound lift in 2006 and regained a second youth thanks to Jean-Max and François Causse. Two rooms - Marilyn the red and Audrey the blue so - highlight heritage-owned movies… Every year, many festivals are also organised (Turkish, Hungarian, Kurdish…) and cycles intended for the young public make it possible to make this Film a symbol of the Latin Quarter.

Café and restaurant upstairs, concert hall and concert hall downstairs: it's an understatement to say that this Pop-Up du Label knows how to do things right. While the kitchen is well smelled, in neighbourhood canteen mode, with seasonal dishes well smelled, it stirs hard underneath! And for good reason, the space, which is quite vast, offers an eclectic program, and many of the artists are still unknown, but are expected to break through soon. Lescop, Yaël Naïm, Juliette Armanet have been here, and we can only invite you to take a regular look at the programming. As a bonus, the Pop-Up gallery, which has just opened, with works by the team's favourite artists.

Formerly called Action Ecoles then the Desperdado, this beautiful establishment, opened in 1977 to showcase revivals of old American films, was bought by director Jean-Pierre Mocky. The latter, in addition to showing his own films, offered every day in both cinemas a classic French film, an American classic in VOST and a genre film in VOST. After a recent change of ownership, this cinema now specializes in revivals of old films, particularly American films in their original version. Festivals and debates are regularly held there, as at the Christine Cinéma club, these two cinemas being part of the same entity: the Paris Cinéma Club.

Behind a façade of old stone with a patina of time and adorned with a sign in gold letters is a precious establishment: The Christine Cinema Club, formerly known as the Christine and Christine 21 Action. Since 1973, two arthouse cinemas have been welcoming lovers of the 7th Art and cult films. The Louis XIV period entrance door is the symbol of this cinema made of finesse and passion. The programme gives pride of place to classics from all over the world, particularly American and European. Festivals and debates are regularly held there, as at the Ecole Cinema Club, these two cinemas being part of the same entity, the Paris Cinema Club.

Adorned in his eternal blue outfit and accessorised with his best blue sunglasses, Michou never went unnoticed. This Montmartre icon passed away in 2020, but his cabaret continues as before, perpetuating his memory and his work. Look-alikes of all kinds follow one another with talent, having fun with themselves and with the audience! The transformists, who also perform in the cabaret, are truly characters in their own right. The current revue, "Destination Michettes", is in the purest tradition of the place. Reservations essential.

The Zingaro Equestrian Theatre has existed since 1989. Zingaro's shows combine equestrian theater, dance, world music, poetry and many other artistic disciplines. All of these are invitations to travel and vectors of universal emotions. The fort of Aubervilliers is a unique place, built to be a full member of the show. Made entirely of wood, this tent stands out from the surrounding urban décor. Before entering the arena, the visitor walks along the caravan village, and then flies over the stables housing the horses from a footbridge.

Built in 1913 for King Edward VII of England, one of the great lovers of Belle Époque Parisian life, this was the theatre where Sacha Guitry premiered many of his plays during the 1920s. After extensive renovations, the theatre reopened in 2001 under the direction of Bernard Murat and Jean-Louis Livi. This handsome, vast 720-seat venue is located close to the Opéra Garnier, in a pretty pedestrian street that was pedestrianised several decades ago. Its programming, both popular and cutting-edge, is a great success.

Listed as a historic monument, with its curious white facade featuring only a few windows, this is one of Paris's musical landmarks, in one of the capital's most vibrant districts. This Italian-style theatre, with its 1,400 seats, parterre and balcony, is an eclectic stage for all kinds of artists. Lots of music, of course, but also shows. Note also that the Boule Noire, in the basement, also organises concerts, albeit on a more intimate scale.

Inspired by the famous Disney Pixar film Nemo's World, this attraction takes visitors on a voyage of discovery of the ocean depths. Precipitated into the depths, they will encounter three sharks eager to be vegetarians. But for them, the temptation will be great at the sight of the men who, trying to escape from them, will be dragged at full speed into the famous Australian East Current. Thrills guaranteed, but not recommended for pregnant women or people with health problems. Reserved for children over 1.12 m.

If the Folies Bergère are, it's because the café concert built here in 1869 was to take a street name. As the nearby lanes all bore surnames, only this pretty, evocative word would do! At the end of the ^19th century, the room's promenade saw many demi-mondaines and noceurs pass by. In 1926, Joséphine Baker, another big star of the Folies Bergère, arrived, along with numerous revues. This was followed by musicals and other productions such as "Nine" and "Fame", as well as numerous shows.

The tumultuous history of this concert hall does not detract from the quality of its programming. It first opened as a ballroom in 1861, before becoming a pornographic cinema in 1901, under the name "Théâtre de la Comédie Mondaine". Presumably, it was its sultry reputation that kept it going. In fact, it was here that striptease was invented! The club's warm, relaxed atmosphere is ideal for rocking till dawn, and all for a reasonable price. Be warned, though, crowds are often high!

With a history spanning several centuries, over 20 years ago, the theatre underwent major renovations, after which Jean-Michel Ribes became its director. His aim is to reconcile pleasure and culture by performing texts by living authors. He multiplies quality shows by mixing genres and styles in the rooms of this dynamic establishment: Renaud-Barrault - seven hundred and sixty seats -, Jean-Tardieu - one hundred and seventy seats - and Roland-Topor - eighty-six seats -, in tiers.

The adventure of the New Theatre began in 1827. He had three successive addresses before settling in this 590-seat room inaugurated in 1921. It is one of the temples of the light show: There was a lot of music and a lot of music. Arletty, Michel Simon, Elvire Popesco, Jean Lefebvre, Jacques Balutin, Henri Guybet, Chevallier and Laspalès, Robert Lamoureux, and Marthe Mercadier surveyed his scene. In 2010, Pascal Legros took the lead in the theatre.
