Théâtre Tristan Bernard

The Théâtre Tristan Bernard began its life not as a public stage for professional actors, but as part of a vocational school for young women. Built by the Fondation Léopold Bellan between 1911 and 1914, the building was designed by architect Théo Petit to house classrooms, workshops, and two separate auditoriums. These spaces were intended for educational meetings and student performances, long before the venue became a recognized landmark for modern Parisian comedy.
