Théâtre Hébertot
Housed in a former theatre on boulevard des Batignolles, the venue took the name of Jacques Hébertot in the mid-20th century, an influential cultural figure who gave it a demanding artistic direction, mixing new creations with revivals of major texts.
The modestly sized auditorium keeps an old-fashioned character that contrasts with the quiet, residential Batignolles neighbourhood, set apart from the bustle of the grand boulevards. The closeness between stage and seating makes for a fairly immersive theatre experience. Tip: pair the outing with dinner in the Batignolles area, appreciated for its local addresses and village-like atmosphere.
