Théâtre dit Comédie de Reims (ancienne maison de la culture)

The Théâtre dit Comédie de Reims, originally known as the maison de la culture, serves as a cultural landmark reflecting the initiative started by André Malraux. Opened in 1968, it was the ninth of the 18 cultural houses developed under E.J. Biasini's guidance, with the state covering half of the construction costs, after which ownership transferred to the local municipality. Beyond its historical significance in cultural policy, the building also has artistic importance, having launched its first programming under André Mairal, who established the Théâtre de Reims in 1960. Its early leadership included notable figures such as René Jauneau, Alain Guy, and Robert Hossein.
