Théâtre du Jeu de Paume

This 493-seat theater was built in the space that once held the Royal tennis courts of Louis XIV, explaining its mysterious but descriptive name. The building has undergone several renovations since the beginning of its construction in 1756, when it was intended to uphold the most modern values as expressed in the work of Voltaire: it was to be a place where everyone in the audience could see and hear no matter their place. Today, it hosts a continuous line-up of theater in conjunction with the Théâtre du Gymnase in Marseille, under the management of the group ACTE. The Jeu de Paume shows the more political pieces of the two in their voluminous, intricately decorated space.

La Fontaine d'Argent

This venue is famous in the city for opening its stage to the works of both young and proven artists who wish to try out their productions before confronting the public and media of the capital. The relaxed, intimate atmosphere favors complicity with the performing artists. The management has been working at discovering and supporting the future stars of the stage for several years.
