Théatre Hebertot

The Théâtre Hébertot is distinguished by its rounded, cream-colored stone facade and the ornate iron marquee that hangs over the entrance on Boulevard des Batignolles. Originally built as the Théâtre des Arts in eighteen thirty-eight, it gained its current name from Jacques Hébertot, a prominent director who took over in nineteen forty. He turned the stage into a hub for modern drama, famously producing works by Albert Camus and Henri de Montherlant during the German occupation of Paris, often under constant threat of censorship.
