“Le Molière” Municipal Theater

The “Le Molière” Municipal Theatre is the beating heart of Mont-de-Marsan's cultural scene. From classical concerts to dramatic plays, it's the go-to place for entertainment. The first cultural and musical performances were staged in a room in the Barnabites convent, fitted out for the occasion, but then the city set about building a proper theater. To achieve this, they demolished the courthouse and the prisons, and expanded the old town hall square. The new theater and market hall opened their doors in 1830, after two years of construction. In 1927, they added the peristyle, that is the columned porch, and then in 2008, they renovated the municipal theater, which now welcomes spectators in a grand, refined space.
