About this venue
Le Theatre Libre is one of Paris's historic entertainment venues, with roots dating back to 1858, when the site opened as the Eldorado. Today, its main auditorium has 934 seats, while the smaller La Scène Libre accommodates 154 visitors. This combination of a long cultural legacy and a varied contemporary programme makes the venue a distinctive address for theatre, comedy, dance and musical performances.
The main auditorium retains the character of a traditional theatre, with stalls, balcony and upper seating levels creating a close connection between the stage and the audience. Numbered seating makes visits straightforward to plan, while the two auditoriums allow the venue to host productions of very different scales, from intimate performances to shows for almost a thousand spectators. Access to the balcony and mezzanine is by stairs, an important detail when selecting seats.
The theatre is located at 4 Boulevard de Strasbourg, 75010 Paris, France, in the 10th arrondissement. Strasbourg–Saint-Denis Métro station, served by lines 4, 8 and 9, is less than 100 metres from the entrance, making the final approach particularly convenient; parking in the surrounding streets can be difficult, so arriving by car is often less practical.

About the city: Paris
Paris, the capital of France, is not only a symbol of art and romance, but also one of Europe’s most important stages for top-tier sports and music events. The city moves to the rhythm of big nights, and audiences from around the world come for a unique atmosphere that blends metropolitan glamour with the energy of supporters and fans.
A major advantage is outstanding connectivity: the Métro, RER, and Transilien networks, together with trams and buses, make it easy to reach key locations quickly—whether you’re heading to Accor Arena, Parc des Princes, or Stade de France. If you arrive by train, the main hubs include Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon, Gare Montparnasse, Gare Saint-Lazare, Gare de l’Est, and Gare d’Austerlitz, while air travel is covered by Aéroport Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris-Orly (ORY), with straightforward onward links to arenas and stadiums.
Beyond the event itself, Paris offers a wide range of accommodation and gastronomy for different budgets—from hotels in central districts to practical options across the greater city area—alongside countless bistros, brasseries, and contemporary restaurants. Visitors often appreciate how everything can fit into one day—arrival, sightseeing, dinner, and the event—without complicated logistics.
Take the opportunity to stroll along the Seine before or after the event, explore the historic core around Île de la Cité, or plan a short route through the Louvre and the Tuileries Gardens. For a different vibe, choose a walk down the Champs-Élysées, discover the streets of Le Marais, or catch a panorama from Montmartre—small details that turn a concert or match into a complete city experience.
