Le Trianon, Concert hall and theater in Pigalle, Paris, France

Le Trianon is a theatre at 80 boulevard Marguerite-de-Rochechouart, built in the Italian style with two levels of balconies: 647 seats in the orchestra and 440 in the balconies. Its cream facade carries a large arched window under a curved pediment, the words "VAUDEVILLE DRAME" and, lower left, "TRIANON COMEDIE". The ground floor holds the Petit Trianon cafe, whose stone balustrade and arched entrance face the boulevard.

Built in 1894 as the Trianon-Concert in the garden of the Élysée-Montmartre, it opened in 1895 as one of Paris's first music halls. After a fire on 17–18 February 1900, architect Joseph Cassien-Bernard, a pupil of Charles Garnier, rebuilt it as a 1,000-seat Italian-style theatre, inaugurated on 18 December 1902 as the Trianon-Théâtre. It became the Théâtre Victor-Hugo in 1903, the Trianon-Comique in 1906, the Trianon-Lyrique in 1917 and simply Le Trianon in 1920.

The name Trianon comes from the Grand Trianon at Versailles, a name also given to the café-concert built in 1894. The hall has hosted the final auditions of the Nouvelle Star TV show since 2003, and Les Wriggles recorded a show there on 23 September 2005. On the ground floor, Le Petit Trianon café, designed in Art Deco style from the start, reopened in May 2011 after twenty years of closure.

The venue is located near the Anvers metro station, making it easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that different events take place in various spaces within the building, so it helps to arrive early and familiarize yourself with the layout before the performance begins.

The steelwork in the hall came from Gustave Eiffel's Pavillon de France, built for the 1889 Exposition universelle and salvaged by Édouard Niermans for the 1897 refurbishment of the Élysée Montmartre, not for the 1902 rebuild. The 1902 theatre by Joseph Cassien-Bernard kept only the facade that survived the 1900 fire.
