Théâtre Hébertot (French pronunciation: [teɑtʁ ebɛʁto]) is a theatre at 78, boulevard des Batignolles, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, France.

History

The theatre was completed in 1838 and opened as the Théâtre des Batignolles. It was later renamed Théâtre des Arts in 1907. Jacques Rouché was the director of the theatre from 1910 to 1913.[1] It acquired its present name in 1940 after playwright and journalist Jacques Hébertot.
