Bouffes du Nord theater

An evening at this legendary theatre makes you forget you just stepped in from 21st-century Paris. Its auditorium has been refurbished but has kept its 19th-century look and atmosphere. It hosts all sorts of theatrical creations—music, theatre, popular singers—and a performance here is a lovely way to step away from everyday life. Book early to get a seat on the first balcony, where you’ll have the best view of the rich decoration while enjoying the show.
