Theatre erected at the end of the 18th century by the architects Peyre and de Wailly on the land of the hôtel de Condé. It stands on a semi-circular square allowing the space to be transformed into an open-air theatre. Victim of fires on two occasions, it was rebuilt by Chalgrin in 1808, then by Baraguey in 1818.
