History
Opened in lle Saint-Louis in 1759, the Café Théâtre was one of Paris' premiere coffee houses for decades. Intellectuals, poets, philosophers and actors flocked to its tables, and the salon was a centre for political debate and discussion. The Café was bought by the Assassin Brotherhood to act as an intelligence-gathering network, keeping the Assassins informed about the current situation in Paris. Over the years, other establishments, such as the Café Procope, gradually supplanted the Café Théâtre in prominence. By the 1790, it fell into near-ruin, becoming a rundown bar, more likely to host a second-rate bawdy comedy show than an impassioned debate.
In 1791, the fate of the rundown Café Théâtre was changed, when stewardship of the building was handed to the Assassin Arno Dorian, by the French Assassin Council. Under Arno's care the Café was restored to its former glory, as he renovated and invested money back into the building, bringing back the clientele and prestige that it had lost. The Assassins continued to operate out of the Café Théâtre long after the French Revolution, all the way up to the World War I.
Renovations

She encouraged Arno to renovate the building, both to gain information and revenue from the patrons. Once Arno had enough coin, he spoke with the building's intendant about renovating the Café.
