It is a theater from the second half of the 18th century. The current hall has 300 seats. It presents a neo-Renaissance style. Particularly characteristic are carved oak panels decorating the orchestra and balconies, crowned with a ceiling decorated with painted plinths. Due to its architecture, the theater was included in the list of French historical monuments in 1977.
The theater was founded in 1755 thanks to Alexander Jean Joseph Le Riche La Pouplinière. The collector and patron of art wanted to create a place in the vicinity of his castle where artistic and intellectual cream of the time could meet. Therefore, the facility hosted names such as Voltaire, Quentin de La Tour, Van Loo, Stamitz and Rameau.
It was not until 1931 that it was transformed into a theater, which was then a high-quality cinematographic place in the capital. At that time he was visited by such personalities as Gerard Philippe or Marcel Carné, director of the famous film "Children of Paradise".
