The Théâtre national de Chaillot (French pronunciation: [teɑtʁ nɑsjɔnal d(ə) ʃajo]; "Chaillot National Theatre") is a theatre located in the Palais de Chaillot at 1, Place du Trocadéro, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Close by the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadéro Gardens—the Théâtre de Chaillot is among the largest concert halls in Paris. It has long been synonymous with popular theatre and is especially associated with stars such as Jean Vilar and Antoine Vitez. In 1975 the French Ministry of Culture designated it as one of the four national theatres of Paris.
