Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord
Peter Brook took over this gutted 1876 hall in 1974 and left the scorched, peeling pink-red walls exactly as he found them; it has staged theatre, opera and chamber music in the round ever since, with no proscenium grandeur.
Long-running
The distressed interior is the point — book the stalls to sit close in the bowl. A short walk from Gare du Nord.
