Café de la Gare, Historic theater in Le Marais, Paris, France
The Café de la Gare operates in a restored former fan factory at 41 rue du Temple, featuring a 450-seat performance space for theatrical productions.
Nine actors established the theater near Montparnasse station in 1968, before relocating to the 4th arrondissement of Paris in 1971 for expanded operations.
The theater presented performances from notable French artists including Coluche, Patrick Dewaere, and Miou-Miou, who shaped its artistic direction through improvisation methods.
Visitors access the venue through Hôtel de Ville or Rambuteau metro stations, with facilities adapted for people with reduced mobility and air conditioning systems.
The founding members implemented an equal profit-sharing system without hierarchical management, allowing performers complete control over their artistic content.
