Champs Élysée

The Théâtre des Champs-Élysées is a renowned concert hall in Paris that, despite its name, is not located on the famous boulevard but on Avenue Montaigne in the 8th arrondissement. Built by Auguste Perret between 1911 and 1913, the building stands out for its unusual concrete construction clad in white marble. The façade is adorned with reliefs by Émile-Antoine Bourdelle, while the interior is defined by works of art in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. Inside, you'll find three stacked halls, including the main auditorium with a dome by Maurice Denis. Historically, the house is best known for the premieres of the Ballets Russes, which ushered in modernism here. Today it serves as a venue for classical music and is home to the Orchestre National de France as well as the Vienna Philharmonic's base in France.
