About the location

Théâtre à l'italienne
Place Varillas, 23000 Guéret
  • Creuse
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Built Place des Barnabites (now Place Varillas) according to the plans of Monsieur Vincent Boulle, architect in Limoges in 1837, this theatre proposed a rich and varied program: dramas, comedies, operas-comedy.
This is where one of the best actresses of the mid-19th century will start: Rose Cizos, better known as «Rose Chéri».
But over time, the building deteriorates, it will be used as a barracks for soldiers during the war of 14-18.
In 1928, his restoration was entrusted to Gilbert Talbourdeau, architect at Montluçon.
On Tuesday, November 18, 1930, we read in "Le courrier du Centre" that "Guéret owned […] of all the cities of its importance, the most beautiful theatre in France".
In 1932, the place was transformed into a cinema until it closed on December 31, 1983.
In the 1990s, the municipality will undertake work, which explains its remarkable state of conservation.
