Théâtre des Abbesses

The Théâtre des Abbesses is distinguished by a striking tomato-red facade, shielded by a prominent neoclassical portico with columns and a triangular pediment that stands detached from the building wall. Opened in nineteen ninety-six at thirty-one Rue des Abbesses, this municipal theater occupies a site that once held a collection of bustling food shops, including a well-known butcher’s store called the Cochon Rose.
