Théâtre Municipal d'Évreux

The Théâtre Municipal d'Évreux is a theater building designed in Beaux-Arts style with elaborate decorations and sculptures on its facade. Inside, multiple levels of seating include decorated boxes and balconies, with the main auditorium retaining its original craftsmanship and proportions.

Architect Léon Légendre designed the building in 1898, and it opened in 1903 as a major cultural venue. Throughout the 20th century, it served generations as a performance space for theater and cultural events in the region.

The theater has shaped the cultural life of Évreux for over a century, drawing audiences who want to see contemporary performances and local artists. The interior with its decorated boxes creates a sense of shared artistic experience for visitors.

The theater has been thoroughly renovated and is accessible for visitors wanting to attend performances. It is helpful to check opening hours and the current program in advance to plan your visit properly.

A large maple tree stands in front of the theater entrance and dates back to before the French Revolution. This ancient tree is a quiet symbol of local continuity that visitors often overlook when arriving at the building.
