LBY4748676: The theatre Le Ranelagh in the sixteenth in Paris, 5 rue des Vignes, 75016 Paris, France. Architecture of 1894. Photography 07/09/09. In 1755, Alexandre Jean Joseph Le Riche de La Poupliniere, a farmer general under the rule of Louis XV, had a theatre built in his domain of Boulainvilliers at the end of the allee of his castle. In 1815, the gardens of the property were particularly devasted by the English according to the sources required in the Historical, Topographic and Military Dictionary of 1838. Mr. Cabal, notary, sold the estate in 1826 to speculators who traced a new district called Boulainvilliers instead of the estate. Louis Mors, the famous car builder, acquired a large part of this plot, on which he had a theatre built in 1894 at the location of the Salon de Musique de la Poupliniere. / Bridgeman Images
