Théâtre Edouard VII

The Théâtre Édouard VII sits at the center of a quiet, pedestrianized square, easily identified by the equestrian statue of the British monarch Edward the Seventh that guards the space. Built in nineteen thirteen, the theater stands on land that once held the stables and carriage houses for a local horse-drawn cab company. The venue was constructed by British architect William Sprague as part of a larger urban development project aimed at honoring the king, who earned the nickname the most Parisian of all kings for his deep affinity for the city.
