Théâtre Muncipal de La Roche-sur-Yon, Historical theatre in La Roche-sur-Yon, France.
The theatre features a neoclassical facade with four Tuscan columns supporting a triangular pediment, constructed using limestone from southern Vendée.
The construction began in 1844 on former military barracks, following Napoleon's 1808 decree to establish a theatre in the newly created city.
The interior showcases wooden Italian-style architecture with decorated balconies featuring comedy masks, floral garlands, and musical instrument motifs added in 1888.
The theatre accommodates 373 seats and remains open Tuesday through Saturday from 1 PM to 7 PM, offering guided tours upon request.
The ceiling displays alternating depictions of Muses with flower bouquets, complemented by elaborate stucco work and gilded ornaments from the 1888 renovation.
