Théâtre du Rond-Point

The Théâtre du Rond-Point (French pronunciation: [teɑtʁ dy ʁɔ̃ pwɛ̃]) is a theatre in Paris, located at 2bis avenue Franklin-D.-Roosevelt, 8th arrondissement.

The theatre began with an 1838 project of architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff for a rotunda in the Champs Elysees.

Inaugurated in 1839, this structure was integrated with other Hittorff buildings for the Exposition Universelle (1855) and destroyed the following year.

In December 1893, the rotunda became the Palais de Glace (Ice Palace), one of the most popular attractions of Belle Epoque Paris.

[1] The theatre was managed by Jean-Louis Barrault from 1958 to 1968, when he was dismissed from the Gare d'Orsay during the student uprising in the spring of that year.
