Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux
Designed by renowned architect Victor Louis, the Grand Théâtre
de Bordeaux was built between 1773 and 1780 and is one of the
grandest 18th-century theatres remaining in the world. It served as
the National Assembly for the French Parliament briefly in 1781 and
was the scene of the premiere of the ballet
La Fille Mal Gardéein 1789. This theatre is the
oldest in Europe to have never burnt down or needed rebuilding
since its erection nearly 250 years ago, and is now home to the
Opéra National de Bordeaux, as well as the Ballet National de
Bordeaux. Guided tours are available.
