The Theatre of Besançon is a neoclassical playhouse in Besançon, France, designed by the prominent eighteenth-century architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux. As the principal theater of the city, it stands as a classified historical monument, preserving an important example of Ledoux's architectural vision during the Enlightenment era. The building reflects the refined aesthetic principles and geometrical clarity characteristic of Ledoux's work, which helped define the neoclassical style in French architecture.
