The Les Molière is the national theatre award of France and it recognises achievement of French theatre each year. The awards are considered the highest honour for productions and performances. Presided and decided by the Association professionnelle et artistique du théâtre (APAT), supported by the Ministry of Culture in a ceremony annually held, called the Nuit des Molières ("Night of the Molières") in Paris.
The Les Molière are considered the highest French theatre honour, the equivalent to the American Tony Award, the British Olivier Award and the Spanish Premios Max. The award was created by Georges Cravenne, who was also the creator of the César Award for cinema. The name of the award is an homage to the seventeenth-century French dramatist Molière.
