Emile Loubet Theatre, Nineteenth-century theater in central Montélimar, France.
The Emile Loubet Theatre stands at 1, Place du Théâtre in Montélimar, a pale stone facade with a central pediment pierced by three tall windows above a balustraded balcony. "THEATRE MUNICIPAL" is carved beneath the balcony, and three arch-headed glass doors framed by columns open at ground level, reached by a wide stone staircase with a fountain playing in front.
The theater officially opened on February 11, 1885, designed by architect Adam Niewarowicz, and was named after Émile Loubet, who later served as President of France from 1899 to 1906.
The theater plays a central role in Montélimar's cultural life by offering a varied program of professional performances, educational workshops, and community-based theater projects supported by local organizations for audiences of all ages.
The theater is situated at 1, Place du Théâtre in Montélimar and offers guided tours of approximately 60 minutes upon request, with free admission for children under six years old.
The facade carries the carved inscription "THEATRE MUNICIPAL" beneath a balustraded balcony, and a fountain plays in front of the wide stone staircase leading to the three arched doorways. The building is named after Émile Loubet, the Montélimar-born lawyer who became President of France in 1899.
