History
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.
