Petit Théâtre de Guéret, Italian-style theatre in Guéret, France.
The Petit Théâtre de Guéret is a theatre building with Italian-style architecture located in central France. The interior follows classic 19th-century principles, with a stage and seating arranged for optimal viewing and sound.
The building was designed in 1837 by Vincent Boulle and reflects the architectural preferences of that era. During World War I it served military purposes before later being converted into a cinema.
The building is known as the Petit Théâtre de Guéret, not after its architect Vincent Boulle. Rose Chéri, a French actress, began her career on this stage. Today the association Masquarades works to renovate this social and cultural heritage site.
The theatre building is currently closed and not accessible for regular visits. It can be viewed from outside, and special openings sometimes occur during European Heritage Days.
The building has remained vacant since 1983 and was added to the endangered monuments list in 2018. Actress Rose Chéri began her career on this stage before achieving fame.
