Theatre entertainment in France

  1. Théâtre de la CHOUC'routerie

    In 1984 Roger Siffer, a singer, comedian, actor and producer known for his biting satire, set up this intimate theatre in a former sauerkraut factory. Performances are fun, experimental and trilingual (Alsatian, French and German). The theatre is a five-minute walk west of Porte de l'Hôpital tram stop, on the opposite side of the river to Grand Île.

    Comédie Française

    Founded in 1680 under Louis XIV, the ‘French Comedy’ theatre bases its repertoire around the works of classic French playwrights. The theatre has its roots in an earlier company directed by Molière at the Palais Royal – the French playwright and actor was seized by a convulsion on stage during the fourth performance of the Imaginary Invalid in 1673 and died later at his home on nearby rue de Richelieu.

    Admire an oversized replica of Molière’s director chair outside the Comédie Française on place Colette.
