Our venues

The Odeon-Théâtre de l'Europe was built in 1782 by the architects Peyre and de Wailly. It was destroyed and rebuilt twice, after the fires of 1799 and 1818. At the time, it was the first parisian monument fully dedicated to theatrical performances. The Italian-style theatre was the biggest of Paris in 1782 : it could welcome 1913 spectators, and only 800 today. The Odéon is designated historical monument since October 7th, 1947.
In May 2005, The Ateliers Berthier officially became the Odeon's second theatre. This venue, first one in the neighbourghood, will be reunited with the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique and the Comédie-Française to form the Cité du Theatre, an artistic and cultural centre.
