Théâtre des Déchargeurs, Historical theatre in Les Halles district, Paris, France.
Théâtre des Déchargeurs is a theatre building in the 1st arrondissement of Paris with two performance spaces. The larger venue, named Vicky Messica, holds 76 spectators, while the smaller La Bohême room accommodates about 19 people.
The building was constructed in 1708 for Marie Orceau, widow of Rouillé, and remained largely unchanged for centuries. It became a theatre in 1979 when Vicky Messica acquired the property and converted it into a performance venue.
This venue presents French-language performances and contemporary plays that reflect the artistic pulse of central Paris. It serves as a platform where experimental productions and new works find their audience in an intimate setting.
The venue sits on Rue des Déchargeurs and is easily reached on foot from the nearby Châtelet and Hôtel de Ville metro stations. Its central location in the Les Halles district makes it simple to find and visit.
The building received protection for its facades and grand staircase in 1925, recognizing its architectural value. This safeguarding was extended to the entire structure in 2001, ensuring these original features remain intact today.
