It occupies a prime location in Lons-le-Saunier (capital of the Jura), and its facades successively punctuate two lively squares in the town centre: the Place de la Liberté and the Place du 11 Novembre. It is a beautiful rococo style building, rebuilt from 1901, following a violent fire. The village hall, which occupied half of the building, was in turn destroyed by fire in 1983. It was rebuilt and transformed into a conference and meeting space, called CAR'COM, offering numerous possibilities of reception.

The theatre is a masterpiece of early 20th century architecture where gilding, red velvet, paintings and stucco combine to give the room all its splendour. The whole, classified as a historical monument, was restored in 1997.
