It is to the architect Gabriel Davioud (Saint-Michel fountain, Monceau Park gates ...) that we owe the Théâtre du Châtelet, just like the Théâtre de la Ville, located just opposite. The programming of this high-place of Parisian culture, inaugurated in 1862, is innovative and demanding: classical music concerts, theater, dance shows, internationally renowned musicals ... The Théâtre du Châtelet also hosts a nightclub - Joséphine - for club nights several times a week, in an original setting.
