Théâtre du Rond-Point
Housed in a 19th-century pavilion on the Champs-Élysées that once held a well-known restaurant and later a panorama, Théâtre du Rond-Point turned toward contemporary creation from the late 20th century onward, largely under directors committed to author-driven theatre.
Its three auditoriums, of different sizes, allow for varied programming, from demanding texts to lighter forms, in a setting that feels surprisingly calm despite the busy avenue nearby. Tip: make use of the theatre's bar-restaurant before or after the show, a friendly spot where conversation about the play often continues.
