Studio-Théâtre de la Comédie-Française
Set beneath the glass roof of the Carrousel du Louvre, the Studio-Théâtre is the smallest of the Comédie-Française's venues, opened in the 1990s to offer theatre on a more intimate scale, often turned toward young authors or short formats.
Its unusual location, within a shopping area next to the Louvre's collections, makes it a place apart, blending passing crowds with theatrical concentration. Tip: combine the visit with a stroll through the Carrousel du Louvre or the nearby Palais-Royal gardens, before or after the performance.
