Theater of Chartres
Location : Place de Ravenne, 28000 Chartres
Duration : 5 minutes
The Théâtre de Chartres will be more ‘Italian-style’ than ever, inviting audiences on a dreamlike, festive journey through the famous ‘boot of Europe’.
The ornate 19th-century facade is the setting for an enchanted, artistic interlude of travel, art and colour.
Between the courtyard and the garden, the many paintings are inspired by the most beautiful settings and the greatest artists. A special tribute is paid to the mythical characters of the commedia dell'arte in the midst of ancient ruins.

A little history
Designed by the architect Piébourg and inaugurated in 1861, the Chartres theater is typical of the opulent buildings constructed during the Second Empire.
The theater has preserved its period machinery with its system of counterbalanced poles allowing the scenery to be arranged at will.
