The Théâtre L'Européen in Paris, inaugurated in 1872 under the name "Concert Européen", is a historic concert hall in the capital's 17th arrondissement. Originally a popular 600-seat music hall, it has hosted a number of famous artists, including Edith Piaf and Tino Rossi.
Over the years, the Européen has evolved, becoming the "Théâtre en Rond" in the 1960s after a complete rebuild, then reverting to its original name in 1987 thanks to Philippe Hourdé. Its contemporary, uncluttered architecture makes it a modern, welcoming building. L'Européen thus marks a renaissance for one of the legendary venues that made Paris history. It's an important part of the capital's festive heritage!
Today, l'Européen is one of Paris's leading live arts venues. From concerts to comedy and music shows, it embodies the art of living and joie de vivre in Paris. Ideally located in a lively district of the capital, l'Européen is surrounded by numerous bars and restaurants that you can visit before or after a show.
