Comédie-Française

An evening with Molière

Molière's company

Founded in 1680 by Louis XIV, the Comédie-Française is the oldest theatre company still performing today. Its permanent company of actors alternates between the classics, with Molière first and foremost, and contemporary playwrights.

The Salle Richelieu

All red and gold, this Italian-style auditorium is one of the most beautiful in Paris. You can also see the armchair in which Molière gave his last performance of The Imaginary Invalid, in 1673.

An evening without a taxi

The Salle Richelieu is at the end of the hotel's street. Dinner in the neighbourhood, the show, then a walk back: no need to keep an eye on the time of the last Métro.
