Théâtre du Nord, Historic theater in Grand Place, Lille, France
The theater occupies a former guard corps building from the 18th century, featuring a sun sculpture on the pediment and the coat of arms of Lille on its facade.
Built in 1717 as a guard station for the Lille garrison after the French annexation in 1667, the site previously housed the New Butcher Shops since 1550.
The venue contains two performance spaces: a 100-seat intimate theater and the Roger-Salengro hall with 444 seats, which opened its doors in 1989.
Visitors can access the theater through Rihour metro station, with recommended parking available at Grand Place and Nouveau Siècle for those arriving by car.
The first-floor balcony served as a platform for major announcements, including the proclamation of the French Republic on September 6, 1870.
