The Théâtre de l’Atelier opened in 1822 under the name Théâtre Montmartre It was one of the first built by Pierre-Jacques Seveste, who held the licence to operate theatres outside the town limits of Paris, and who also built the Théâtre Montparnasse, the Théâtre des Batignolles and the Théâtre de Belleville. Peter Cicéri and Évariste Fragonard did the decoration.
The Pantheon
It was built between 1758 and 1790 but by the time the construction was finished, the French Revolution had started and the National Constituent Assembly voted in 1791 to transform the church building into a mausoleum for the remains of distinguished French citizens, modelled on the Pantheon in Rome.

The Luxembourg Gardens
The creation of the garden began in 1612 when Marie de’ Medici, the widow of King Henry IV constructed the Luxembourg Palace as her new residence. The garden today is owned by the French Senate, which meets in the Palace. It covers 23 hectares (56.8 acres) and is known for its lawns, tree-lined promenades, tennis courts, flowerbeds, model sailboats on its octagonal Grand Bassin, as well as picturesque Medici Fountain, built in 1620. The name Luxembourg comes from the Latin Mons Lucotitius, the name of the hill where the garden is located.
