The Théâtre de l'Athénée (French pronunciation: [teɑtʁ də latene]) is a theatre at 7 rue Boudreau, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. Renovated in 1996 and classified a historical monument, the Athénée inherits an artistic tradition marked by the figure of Louis Jouvet who directed the theatre from 1934 to 1951. During the period when he was director, it became known as the Athénée Théâtre Louis-Jouvet.
