The Théâtre Montansier is a short walk from the Château de Versailles and the Opéra Royal, in the heart of the Notre-Dame district. Italian theatre of the eighteenth century, it welcomes spectators and actors since its inauguration on November 18, 1777 by Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI. This city theatre has been listed as a historic monument since 1901 and bears the name of its astonishing founder, Marguerite Brunet, known as Mademoiselle Montansier, certainly one of the first women entrepreneurs in history.
The Montansier is today one of the oldest Italian-style theatres preserved in France and one of the only ones to present a decoration reminiscent of the blue, white and gold hues of the XVIII century.
