It was rebuilt in the late nineteenth century by an automobile magnate. The neo-Renaissance style auditorium is made of carved oak which provides exceptional acoustics. This theater is listed as a historical monument. Magnifique théâtre (le plus beau de Paris !). Il s'agit en fait d'un ancien salon de musique d'un fermier général de Louis XV ! Rien que cela ! Voltaire, Quentin de la Tour et Rameau l'ont fréquenté. Il fut refait à la fin du XIXe par un magnat de l'automobile. Sa salle est tout en chêne sculpté dans un style néo-renaissance ! Il possède une acoustique exceptionnelle et pour cause. Ce théâtre est inscrit aux monuments historiques.

Marie-Antoinette, accompagnée des jeunes dames de la cour de France, venait y danser sur des musiques de Rameau, alors maître des divertissements. Détruit sous la Révolution Française, il est reconstruit par un mécène, passionné de Wagner, qui réalise un superbe salon de musique en chêne sculpté style Renaissance flamande. En 1890, le rideau s'ouvre enfin sur un orchestre de 80 musiciens dirigés par Chevillard, qui interprète " l'Or du Rhin " pour la première fois en France. En 1932, la salle devient un cinéma d'art et d'essai et l'un des hauts lieux cinématographiques de la capitale. Repris en 1986 le théâtre a bénéficié d'une programmation éclectique, mêlant cirque, théâtre et musique. Aujourd'hui une page se tourne.

It was once owned by Luc Besson, but he sold his stake in the theater to another group. That's fine, as long as they keep the theater running and awesome. When we were in Paris, the repertoire movie they were showing was by chance, one of my husband's favorites - Fight Club! The theater itself is almost like an art museum, with a cool little tree shaped bench that is attached to the celling in a mushroom style, right in the middle. The screens in the theaters are top notch, with clear imagery, amazing sound, and comfortable seating. They even have fancy snacks, like ice cream, high end chocolates, and even Starbucks coffee! If you're a movie lover and you're visiting Paris, you'll have a plethora of theaters to visit. But definitely make Pathé one of your options!

They have plenty of snack options, which I've wanted to buy, but are overpriced compared to the US. $8 for a bag of M&Ms is wild to me. When I go it's just to watch a movie and leave. I haven't checked out any other theaters in Paris yet.

Only Three stars for this venue!…read more I do not usually associate sweat lodges, the ballet, and Paris together all at one time but Theater Chaillot is the place to go lose a few pounds while you passively experience ballet. We attended Swan Lake in early June and the theater was boiling hot! Sitting in my seat, I thought I would pass out- seriously. Not exaggerating. Left totally soaked and gross- took 30 minutes to cool down outside at the trocadero. So for me, even with the STUNNING view of the Eiffel tower, it was kind of miserable. However! I did lose 2 pounds over night.

We got inexpensive seats, which wound up being in a gorgeous loge on one side of the venue. They offered a stellar vantage point of all but a sliver of one side of the stage, but I could tell the people in the two neighboring loges that were closer to the stage were missing a LOT of the show. It's a little confusing to find your seats and the ushers who unlock the loge for you work exclusively for tips, which they tell you as they're seating you. Unfortunately, I was in the lavatory when my husband was seated and had all our cash on me and he felt really bad about not having any Euros to give to her. Our local theatres also use volunteers for ushers but tipping them is not at all customary (I'm pretty sure it's never done), so this was a learning experience for us. Pricing for drinks and treats in the lobby is very fair -- I think it was 5 euros for a glass of wine. It would be nice if they had more tables out there for guests enjoying libations at intermission.
