The Salle de la Bouteille[3] (French pronunciation: [sal də la butɛj]) or Salle du Jeu de Paume de la Bouteille ([sal dy ʒø də pom də la butɛj]), later known as the Hôtel [de] Guénégaud ([otɛl də ɡeneɡo]) or Guénégaud Theatre,[4] was a 1671 theatre located in Paris, France, between the rue de Seine and the rue des Fossés de Nesle (now 42 rue Mazarine, at its intersection with the rue Jacques Callot).[5] It was across from the rue Guénégaud, which ran behind the garden of a townhouse formerly known as the Hôtel de Guénégaud on the quai de Nevers. The theatre was the first home of the Paris Opera and in 1680 became the first theatre of the Comédie-Française. It closed in 1689 and was later partially demolished and remodeled for other purposes.
