What the City funds here
179.1€M
paid · 2010–2024
Annual subsidy to the operator, Théâtre de la Ville → The association "Théâtre de la Ville" does not manage only the venue at 2 place du Châtelet: it also operates the Théâtre des Abbesses (18th arrondissement) and, according to recent deliberations, a site in the 8th arrondissement. The subsidy shown covers all of these sites, not this building alone. The works contracts listed, however, do concern this venue in the 4th arrondissement: their purpose names "Théâtre de la Ville" and several specify "75004" or "4ÈME."
