A contemporary dance, music and opera venue designed by the French brothers Gustave Perret and Auguste Perret in 1913, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées is a designated French monument historique and an excellent example of modern architecture. The building’s exterior is adorned with paintings, a dome, bas relief, and a stage curtain that adds to the beauty of the structure. Founded by the French journalist Gabriel Astruc, the place is a bustling theater where you should catch a show when in Paris.
