History

edit

Based in the building of the publishing company of Pierre Lafitte, owner of the Femina magazine (hence the name), the room was inaugurated on 19 March 1907. Until 1911, it housed Lugné-Poe and his Théâtre de l'Œuvre, before turning towards the light and operetta repertoire. It would close its doors in 1929, after the parent company has been sold in 1916 to 1918 to the Hachette group.
