A description of classical field theories of first order in terms of Lagrangian submanifolds of premultisymplectic manifolds is presented. For this purpose, a Tulczyjew's triple associated with a fibration is discussed. The triple is adapted to the extended Hamiltonian formalism. Using this triple, we prove that Euler-Lagrange and Hamilton-De Donder-Weyl equations are the local equations defining Lagrangian submanifolds of a premultisymplectic manifold.

Keywords: Tulczyjew's triple, Field theory, multisymplectic structure, Lagrangian submanifold, Hamilton-De Donder-Weyl equation., Euler-Lagrange equation.
