Concert halls Paris

Classified as a historical monument, it is a giant cinema with seven theatres. Opened in 1932 by Jacques Haïk, the Rex was an immediate success with its luxurious decoration, its 2,000 m² and its starry-vaulted ceiling culminating at over 30 m. A word of advice: attending a blockbuster preview in this room, especially if the film is in 3D, will give you the impression of being a privileged one. The quality of the projection is exemplary. But the Grand Rex is also a place where concerts and musicals are presented that can fill a hall with more than 2,700 seats on three levels. A museum and a discotheque complete the vast complex.

This theatre owes the love of an English impresario to his dancer. In 1919 Sir Alfred Butt built it for Régine Flory, on the Palladium model of London. He is named Palace Theatre. During the Roaring Years, you can see the Ballets Russian, classical music concerts, pianiste. And operettas, that until the 1970 s. The site then welcomes all kinds of shows: concerts rock and song - Jacques Higelin… - plays by Jérôme Savary, Robert Hossein… -, musicals - Starmania… Before returning to the Pleyel room in 2006, the Paris Orchestra was in residence some time ago. Becoming a subsidiary of Stage Entertainment, the place was the subject of work in 2007 and reopened to focus mainly on the dissemination of performances mixing theatre and music (the Lion King…). The renovated room can accommodate 1628 spectators and there are 6 bars - three on the ground floor, one on the first balcony and two on the second balcony. Finally, a collection of contemporary art presents works by, notably, Robert Combas, Thierry Bisch, Patrick Boussignac, Hélène Guetary, Raya Sorkine…

Monumental, facing the Eiffel Tower, in a gigantic building built on the Chaillot hill by architects Léon Azéma, Jacques Carlu and Louis-Hippolyte Boileau for the 1937 Universal Exhibition, the Théâtre National de Chaillot is a mecca for dance and music. It was here that Jean Vilar established the Théâtre National Populaire - TNP - in 1951. Today, the venue boasts several seats, and has established itself as a must-see dance venue.

Before this superb neo-Renaissance theater was built in 1900, an ^18th-century music salon already existed on the same site. In 1931, the Ranelagh became a renowned art house cinema. It gradually returned to theater and music, as well as circus arts, notably with the successful performances of Howard Buten as the clown Buffo. The current 300-seat auditorium has retained its character, with carved oak panelling lining the orchestra and balconies.

Rather than an interstellar journey, it's a journey in the time you propose Planet Mars, in the heart of the 1960 s. The place of the place is obviously dominated by red. There are no tables or chairs, but stools and bars to drink cocktails and bottled to the sound of the branchés DJ and soul. Among the clients are nice and cheerful rockers tendance, leather jackets and gomina. And yet, if you're not part of the band, you don't feel at all alien when you get on this planet. We feel immediately welcomed around the small bar in the round of this friendly and well-filled space, under the benevolent gaze of the regulars and toy robots of our childhood shelter in their plexiglas globes. In light of the other bars in the Bastille district.

The Kiosque Théâtre, located on the Place de la Madeleine (west side of the church), offers highly discounted tickets for most current shows, from national theaters to cabarets and cafés-théâtres. We strongly advise you not to wait until the last minute: while there are hundreds of plays to discover, crowds are particularly high, especially at weekends.

The most famous Parisian cabaret was originally a wine cellar. Today, the glitter and glam of the troupe have even allowed it to offer its own champagne. It is to say that the pretty dancers knew how to attract the smiles of a conquered public! Recently, the cabaret presented the show Totally Crazy! a retrospective of the most emblematic paintings of the Crazy Horse since its 65 years of existence. Discover the most mythical creations of the cabaret, from 1951 to today. Launched by the no less mythical Alain Bernardin, the place hosts irregularly personalities, who lend themselves to the game.

Located at the feet of high buildings, typical of the new 13 ^th century built in the last few decades, this district theatre subsidized by the City hall of Paris has been offering performances in 1981 to discover emerging talents, whether they are directors, actors or authors. That said, repertory works are not forgotten. A few names read on the posters in this 250-seat hall theatre: Xavier Durringer, Yasmina Reza, Fabrice Luchini, Gildas Bourdet, Jean-Pierre Miquel, Béatrice Agenin…

It is noted that a Theatre 13 Award helps young directors during a festival each year. The winner sees his work programmed during the following season. Finally, it should be mentioned that the Theatre 13 program three rounds of concerts. There is a lot for everyone.

Many barges border the quay of François Mauriac - but you notice a really original one. Between the small baths with ultra modern architecture and the Batofar, Dame de Canton is one of its king. This junk escorted from the China Sea by a passionate has become over the years a legendary stage of Paris. He owes it to his winner cocktail: concerts of young artists, exhibitions, performances and relaxed atmosphere. Young and crazy guests populate this ship which has only one Master on board: party. In summer, a terrace is installed on the quay, ideal for a cocktail while waiting to go on the deck where concerts are held.

In its Cachette, a 180-seat room specially designed for children, the Compagnie des 3 Chardons presents its theatrical shows, which also regularly tour in primary schools. The place is truly magical, with nearly 18 shows created by Jean-Pierre Idatte. The stories are original, popular and encourage children to read.

The composer Jacques Offenbach is the pere of this very lovely dining area to Italian. Les Bouffes Parisiens are initially installed in 1855 in Carré Marigny, on the Fields-Élysées. One year later, they migrate towards passage Choiseul. Offenbach creates Orphée with the hells there, before yielding its theater in 1862 to its orchestra conductor, Louis Varney. This one made shave the room to build some another, equipped with thousand hundred places. Specialized in the lyric shows, primarily of the operettas, Puff out them Parisian present works of Emmanuel Chabrier, Louis Viarney (Musketeers with the convent), Robert de Flers, Claude Terrasse. At the beginning of the 20th century, the operetta yields the step to the theater with the creation of rooms of Henry Bernstein and Sacha Guitry (Let us do one dreamed), before returning to the light kind which made its glory - Phi-Phi, of Albert Willemetz and Henri Christiné. Willemetz takes over the leadership of the room and obtains an enormous success with Dédé, played by Maurice Chevalier. Dranem, Guitry, Michel Simon, Arletty, Pauline Carton, Elvire Popesco, then Yves Robert, Danièle Delorme are the large stars of Puff out Parisian in the decades which follow. In 1986, Jean-Claude Brialy takes again the reins of the theater, until its death which has occurred in 2007. The direction is now ensured by Dominique Dumond. Theater, only in scene, song and shows young people divide the poster.

After an extensive renovation, the Salle Pleyel has been restored to its former glory. Its unique Art Deco style alone is worth the detour. A benchmark for classical music until the 2010s, the Salle Pleyel no longer programs classical music, as the Philharmonie de Paris has taken over. This may come as a surprise at first, but a quick look at the program should whet your appetite: Pleyel hosts other musical concerts, plays and numerous other creations.

The Forum des images is a 6,000 m² space located in the heart of Paris, in the Westfield Forum des Halles. It offers a varied program of films, debates and meetings with film-makers. The Forum des images also plays an essential role in image education, hosting some 40 events for young audiences every year. Founded in 1988, its mission is to celebrate cinema and moving images. To get to the Forum des images, take the metro (Les Halles or Châtelet stations), the RER (Châtelet-Les Halles station) or the bus (Coquillières Les Halles stop).

The cabaret, perhaps the most famous in the world, is photographed every day by thousands of people, who pose in front of the famous windmill overlooking the district: if the Moulin Rouge is a symbol, it's revues, an absolutely breathtaking show that you must attend at least once in your life. You can of course attend a show with or without a meal, in the morning. The show, dubbed "Féérie", is as impressive as it is finely tuned, a veritable firework display of prowess by the 60 Doriss Girls.

An old corner bar with unpromising decor near the canal: at first glance, that is what this institution of quai de Jemmapes looks like. But once you sit down at the table, you quickly forget the pine cone hanging from the ceiling and the statuettes of bucolic nymphs scattered throughout the bar. This is the kingdom of Adel, who run his small café with good humour and sympathy, a tradition that is lost in the other neighbourhood bars. If we come here, it is not so much for the contents of the glass or the plate (some Syrian specialities are proposed), but for the people with whom we taste them. Here, you will find a few merry regulars, some quite drunk students and idle artists. Every evening or almost, musicians give small concerts, without any fuss. The prices are reasonable, the evenings are always pleasant, especially in summer when the terrace is full of customers enjoying the beautiful days… and beautiful nights!

A fan of the 70 s and the films of Godard, Truffaut and co, welcome to the Grand Action, the establishment that loves the classics. Founded in 1970, this film belonged to the Action network, which proposed a policy of classic film reproductions in new copies in four cinemas (Action Schools, Studio des Grands-Augustins, Action Christine and Grand Action). Since then, two halls have broadcast exclusive American and classic films. The largest room, Henri Langlois (dedicated to the founder of the French Cinémathèque), is absolutely magnificent, with a screen of 10 metres and 223 seats arranged in a drawer. The 3 D has its place in this cinema temple dedicated to great thrills and great moments of action.

As the Theatre of the City, of which it is the second room since 1996, the Theatre des Abbesses offers a high quality programme. Although eclectic, he is very rich in plays. This elegant Italian theatre, which is resolutely contemporary, has 400 seats on the bottom of a courtyard at the foot of Montmartre. His rehabilitation was entrusted to the architect Charles Vandenhove. The decorations of the avant-stage curtain and side galleries were carried out by the painter Olivier Debré. Part of the interior and courtyard is artist Daniel Buren, the rayures man.

Actress Silvia Monfort had long and ardently wanted this theatre, which is located on the edge of Georges-Brassens Park, but unfortunately she died before it opened in 1992. This municipal hall with 460 seats was finally entrusted to Régis Santon. Dramatic art is king, but musical theatre, dance and circus performances are frequently included in the program, as well as concerts and song recitals. The great variety of types of shows and the desire to promote emerging companies remain the strong points of this place rich in proposals and talents.

Red velvet, drapes, golden frames and old chandeliers: this place created at the bottom of a court in 1993 is decorated in a baroque way. It's mainly used for private events, but we regularly serve a rich auditorium of comics, including Wednesday evening for Les Oscars du Laughter. The following went: Jean-Luc Lemoine, Thierry Samitier, Fabrice Eboué, Willy… The famous singers are not the same: Werewolf or Natacha Saint-Pierre also foulé the planks of this place which made one (pre) name in the capital.

Once under the tent now planted near Porte Maillot, let yourself be rocked by the magic created by the founder of this family circus, Alexandre Romanès. Here you will attend an extraordinary show, which pays tribute to the founders of the fairground art, the Gypsies. It is also the last circus of its kind to be found in Europe. You will not see tigers in cages, nor clowns, but acrobats, dancers, a learned dog who is not that knowledgeable... A family and good-natured atmosphere, to such an extent that when one of the young artists from the community fails, the whole audience applauds to encourage him. The orchestra, composed of several guitars, violins and brass, takes up great gypsy themes in a good mood. At the end of the show, Alexandre Romanès delivers some gypsy wisdom. One of our favourite proverbs: "A man is much more ferocious than a tiger. A tiger, you give him fifteen kilos of meat and he's full, a man, you cover him with gold and he wants more! »

Acrobats, clowns, numbers with cats, elephants, tigers, horses… The circus founded by the late Arlette Gruss ensures in the great tradition! A cousin of Alexis Gruss, who led a circus of the same name, it carried out numerous acrobatics to the rope and the trapeze, but became known through a dompteuse number of panthers. She decided to create her own circus in 1985. Despite the difficult beginnings in Ireland, Cirque de France became a reference from 1988 with the panthers of Arlette Gruss, the husband of Arlette Gruss. Five years later, the eponymous circus appears on the small screen for the delight of both small and large. However, everyone can take advantage of his passages in Paris to discover this magical and traditional circus. Today, and despite the disappearance in January 2006 of Arlette Gruss, the circus, taken up by his son Gilbert Mummolo, is always dreaming and has the means of his ambitions: 26 tours, 350 performances per year, 120 employed.

Barely 100 years old and already this theatre has a rich and abundant history! From 1913, it was a real little bomb. First of all, its appearance: nothing traditional, Art Nouveau inside, outside, everywhere. Concrete structure and Art Nouveau architecture are the result of a meeting between Auguste Perret, architect, magnate and concrete theorist, and Henry Van de Velde, innovative architect. Antoine Bourdelle is the author of the travertine facade. Then, the Nabis are exhibited inside: Maurice Denis, Ker-Xavier Roussel, Jacqueline Marval and Edouard Vuillard made interior design an avant-garde piece of early 20th century art. It was inaugurated in April 1913 with Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas and Vincent d'Indy. But it was in May that he caused a scandal by presenting Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps. Since then, the theatre has remained faithful to its avant-garde personality in the creative field of dance. Since then, the theatre has offered a wide programme of events throughout the year in its three rooms, where the decoration, which has remained intact, is in itself a show.

It's a cabaret with all kinds of cabaret shows, sometimes girls, find out! And the stakes are to honour: Foie gras, lobster. The whole is of course accompanied by the pedigree elixir of cabarets, champagne. The magazine invites you in its world of feathers, laughter, paillettes on rhythms of modern jazz, classic, contemporary. On Morgana's voice the live Singer of Caesar Palace, discover a range of artistic performances to join the new generation of magicians, copycats, jugglers and cabaret artists. To finish your evening, enjoy the atmosphere of the 70 s and 80 s on the dance track, and that the party is beautiful!

Marilyn the red and Audrey the blue are confident: The Library of the Latin Quarter is one of the favourite theatres of the regulars in the Sorbonne district. Monroe and Hepburn were at the time of creation of the facility: 1966. After leaving the Action network, the Library underwent a profound lift in 2006 and regained a second youth thanks to Jean-Max and François Causse. Two rooms - Marilyn the red and Audrey the blue so - highlight heritage-owned movies… Every year, many festivals are also organised (Turkish, Hungarian, Kurdish…) and cycles intended for the young public make it possible to make this Film a symbol of the Latin Quarter.

Café and restaurant upstairs, concert hall and concert hall downstairs: it's an understatement to say that this Pop-Up du Label knows how to do things right. While the kitchen is well smelled, in neighbourhood canteen mode, with seasonal dishes well smelled, it stirs hard underneath! And for good reason, the space, which is quite vast, offers an eclectic program, and many of the artists are still unknown, but are expected to break through soon. Lescop, Yaël Naïm, Juliette Armanet have been here, and we can only invite you to take a regular look at the programming. As a bonus, the Pop-Up gallery, which has just opened, with works by the team's favourite artists.

In this "boutique", you find everything: something to eat in an Italian canteen style, drink and listen to music during concerts and DJ sets. You can also attend films screenings, puppet shows, performances or discover art works. As for the music, you have the choice: electro, rock, groove, world, hip-hop, disco or musette! Go in expecting everything, or check out the program on the website. You are sure to find a festive and friendly atmosphere. We love it! Weekends are synonymous with human warmth; you should know that you must jostle to have access to the narrow smoking room on the basement!

Formerly called Action Ecoles then the Desperdado, this beautiful establishment, opened in 1977 to showcase revivals of old American films, was bought by director Jean-Pierre Mocky. The latter, in addition to showing his own films, offered every day in both cinemas a classic French film, an American classic in VOST and a genre film in VOST. After a recent change of ownership, this cinema now specializes in revivals of old films, particularly American films in their original version. Festivals and debates are regularly held there, as at the Christine Cinéma club, these two cinemas being part of the same entity: the Paris Cinéma Club.

Behind a façade of old stone with a patina of time and adorned with a sign in gold letters is a precious establishment: The Christine Cinema Club, formerly known as the Christine and Christine 21 Action. Since 1973, two arthouse cinemas have been welcoming lovers of the 7th Art and cult films. The Louis XIV period entrance door is the symbol of this cinema made of finesse and passion. The programme gives pride of place to classics from all over the world, particularly American and European. Festivals and debates are regularly held there, as at the Ecole Cinema Club, these two cinemas being part of the same entity, the Paris Cinema Club.

Adorned in his eternal blue outfit and accessorized with his best blue sunglasses, Michou never went unnoticed. This Montmartre icon passed away in 2020, but his cabaret continues as before, perpetuating his memory and his work. Look-alikes of all kinds follow one another with talent, having fun with themselves and with the audience! The transformists, who also perform in the cabaret, are truly characters in their own right. The current revue, "Destination Michettes", is in the purest tradition of the place. Reservations essential.

Built in 1913 for King Edward VII of England, one of the great lovers of Belle Époque Parisian life, this was the theater where Sacha Guitry premiered many of his plays during the 1920s. After extensive renovations, the theatre reopened in 2001 under the direction of Bernard Murat and Jean-Louis Livi. This handsome, vast 720-seat venue is located close to the Opéra Garnier, on a pretty pedestrian street that was pedestrianized several decades ago. Its programming, both popular and cutting-edge, is a great success.

Listed as a historic monument, with its curious white facade featuring only a few windows, this is one of Paris's musical landmarks, in one of the capital's most vibrant districts. This Italian-style theater, with its 1,400 seats, parterre and balcony, is an eclectic stage for all kinds of artists. Lots of music, of course, but also shows. Note also that the Boule Noire, in the basement, also organizes concerts, albeit on a more intimate scale.

If the Folies are Bergère, it's because the café concert built here in 1869 was to take a street name. As the nearby lanes all bore surnames, only this pretty, evocative word would do! At the end of the ^19th century, the room's promenade saw many demi-mondaines and noceurs pass by. In 1926, Joséphine Baker, another big star of the Folies Bergère, arrived, along with numerous revues. This was followed by musicals and other productions such as "Nine" and "Fame", as well as numerous shows.

The tumultuous history of this concert hall does not detract from the quality of its programming. It first opened as a ballroom in 1861, before becoming a pornographic cinema in 1901, under the name "Théâtre de la Comédie Mondaine". Presumably, it was its sultry reputation that kept it going. In fact, it was here that striptease was invented! The club's warm, relaxed atmosphere is ideal for rocking till dawn, and all for a reasonable price. Be warned, though, crowds are often high!

With a history spanning several centuries, over 20 years ago the theatre underwent major renovations, after which Jean-Michel Ribes became its director. His aim is to reconcile pleasure and culture by performing texts by living authors. He multiplies quality shows by mixing genres and styles in the rooms of this dynamic establishment: Renaud-Barrault - seven hundred and sixty seats -, Jean-Tardieu - one hundred and seventy seats - and Roland-Topor - eighty-six seats -, in tiers.

The adventure of the New Theatre began in 1827. He had three successive addresses before settling in this 590-seat room inaugurated in 1921. It is one of the temples of the light show: There was a lot of music and a lot of music. Arletty, Michel Simon, Elvire Popesco, Jean Lefebvre, Jacques Balutin, Henri Guybet, Chevallier and Laspalès, Robert Lamoureux, and Marthe Mercadier surveyed his scene. In 2010, Pascal Legros took the lead in the theatre.

The Petit Casino opened its doors in 1969 in a former plumbing shop between Beaubourg and the Place des Vosges. We played the Obaldia, for example, and then fanciful such as Sylvie Joly, Douby, Pascal Legitimus or Paul Préboist made it a renowned address in the coffee-theater category. It is a unique and atypical place where each reservation is made by telephone, and where the welcome is made by Hélène. A beautiful evening of laughter in perspective!

More than six million spectators have already applauded this blockbuster around the world. Cirque Phoenix returns to Paris for a 17 ^th season in colour. Under this top, there are still large troops coming from all continents, because we are defending the neo-classical circus in the gypsy, Mexican or Chinese way. Recently, it was Africa that was honored in the show "CirkAfrika". In 2016, Cirque Phoenix returned to the Havana Company with a fabulous show: " CirkaCuba ", which has no fewer than 50 artists from the crocodile country and a troupe of dancers, musicians and singers for a chain of twelve absolutely staggering numbers. Come and discover this latest show at the rhythm of Cuban percussions in one of the finest capitals in the world.

This beautiful polygon-shaped building has become very precious. Of the "hard" circuses built during the ^19th century, only this one remains, built in 1852 by architect Jacques Hittorff, and purchased in 1934 by the Bouglione brothers. Today, the circus reigns supreme, thanks to the expertise of the Bouglione family, who recruit exceptional artists from all over the world to enrich their shows. The circular stage of this magnificent "theater" is also used for concerts and television broadcasts.

Located in the area of Paris with the most significant changes in recent years, the last-born of the UGC range is open since October at the very location of the former Claude Bernard Hospital, closed in the 1990 s. In years, it's a quarter that has literally transformed itself from the state of wasteland to the very popular place of life. It was therefore normal for a UGC cinema to come into this relatively dépourvu place. With 14 rooms and more than 2 800 seats, the place is a large area covered with a fine metal jacket giving it a chic and sober appearance. And the actors did not get there because, in a few months, dozens of poster heads came to present their works. Test this movie, you won't be disappointed!

Adjacent to the Republic's Cellar, this long-seat room has been installed instead of a playroom. On the walls you can see representations of faces of a few great names of comedy. Perhaps their cadets, who play in the evening on this scene, want to see their portrait soon! The pieces of the boulevard are at the honor of the success of the last two years, My sister is a millstone. Here is a place to relax between friends and with lightness.

The room itself is already a show. Trained in Italian, with about 800 places, it shines a thousand éclats. The th century atmosphere dominates and enchants. It is a jewel in a historic area. The Royal Palace, where it is located, began to be built by the will of the Cardinal of Richelieu. He then called himself the Cardinal Palace. The theatre was built in 1784 in this area, which became property of Philippe d'Orléans. The architect is Victor Louis, who expands the room in 1791. He then took the name of his director, Miss Montansier, an important woman in the middle of this period. In 1831, a famous comedian named Dormeuil took over. The place was named at the Palais-Royal theatre. They play vaudevilles. There were many pieces of Eugène Labiche - Embrace-us Folleville, the Straw hat of Italy… -, Parisian Life, Meilhac, Halévy and Offenbach… In the 1960 s, the comic vein irrigates again and again this room - Achard, Roussin, Dorin… In 1973 stands here the first of La Cage aux folles, Jean Poiret with the author and Michel Serrault. It is a historic triumph, which, elsewhere, will last until 1979! There will then be other successes, including Merry Easter, the same Poiret with Maria Pacôme and Nicole Calfan - from 1980 to 1983 - or the shows of the Unknown and the Quartet. A real palace of laughter royal!

Located on the banks of the Seine, the AccorHotels Arena is a modular pyramid-shaped venue with a capacity of up to 17,000 spectators. Well-known as "Bercy", it can be configured in 30 different ways to host sporting events - basketball, tennis, horse-riding, motocross and water sports - as well as meetings, concerts and special-effects shows. A must-see venue in the capital for anyone wishing to attend an exceptional event and enjoy a quality experience.

Le Lucernaire was founded in 1968 by actors, authors and directors Christian Le Guillochet and Luce Berthommé, and in 1984 was awarded the label of "Centre National d'Art et Essai". Great artists such as Laurent Terzieff and Daniel Emilfork, as well as young companies, have created or revisited contemporary and classic texts here. There are two auditoriums, one "black", the other "red". Le Lucernaire also has three Art et Essai cinemas and a gallery dedicated to young photographers.

This concert hall was not destined to last: it has been in existence for almost 40 years. And the Zenith is so successful that it has "copies" all over France, in Strasbourg, Nantes, Orléans: there are over twenty of them today! Le Zénith is a must-see venue in the capital and the region, and not a single successful artist passes by this venue, which is one of the largest in the region. Modular - that was the novelty at the time - the building seems to have been erected only recently, so much has it not aged.

As its name indicates, the Palais des Congrès is a site where congresses and other events related to the economy are held. It was built for the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 1974, enlarged and renovated in 1999. With three thousand seven hundred and twenty-three squares, without balcony, its Grand Amphitheater is designed to ensure perfect visibility for all spectators. In addition to the major economic gatherings, musicals and musical standards are offered. In short, no punk, but safe values. Attention to motorists: the immense work of the RER E makes access sometimes painful.

A rococo facade and garlands and painful masks: no doubt, when you enter here, we are sure that there will be from the show! It is what already guests of this address said that has a century and a half of existence. From materials recovered from the demolition site of the theatre of the Exhibition of 1867, the keeper of a bar François Jamin built a café-concert in rue de la Gaîté. Le Concert de la Gaîté-Montparnasse opens in 1868. Georges Dorfeuil son takes what over at the beginning of the 20th century and brilliantly young artists including Maurice Chevalier and Georgius. During the Roaring Twenties, the room offers song recitals, bare one, dramas, all without visible logic. La Gaîté becomes a variety of room where singers and chansonniers occur: Roger Nicolas, Fred Adisson, Gina Manès... In 1945, the actress Agnès Capri, who played at Jouvet and Pitoëff, they setup a theatre of avant-garde where a young called novice Marie-Juliette Gréco passes. After a closed at the beginning of the year 1950, the adventure started again in 1958 with Michel Fagadau. Until 1978, it manages the room and showcases much shows. Then, variety theatre and share the poster: Do and Valley, Jean-Roger Caussimon, Luis Rego, Le Père Noël is a refuse, by Beautiful... The large actors passed by all the Gaîté since: Catherine Rich, Pierre Arditi, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Fanny Ardant, Niels Arestrup...

Bobino is a name cherished of in love with the variety. With the original, it is that of a clown of the beginnings of the 19th century. Several rooms were built successively on the same site, starting with that of the Bobino Madnesses in 1873. Of cabaret, it became café concert then variety. As from the years 1950, Bobino competes with Olympia. This theater accommodates Georges Brassens, Joséphine Baker, Edith Piaf, Juliette Gréco, Serge Reggiani, Fernandel, Jacques Brel, Barbara, Léo Ferré, Georges Moustaki, Michel Sardou, Claude Nougaro, Renaud, Charles Aznavour, Thierry Le Luron, Coluche, Guy Bedos and of innumerable other stars. The room closes in 1983 and is demolished. But the show continues in a new space. In 1991, the Bobino Studio takes over and displays humorous concerts and shows, in particular under the direction of Philippe Bouvard. Taken again by Gérard Louvin, the room takes the name of Bobin' O of 2007 to 2009. One cumulates there in a new way of the activities of cabaret, restaurant, lounge bar and club. With the re-entry 2009, Bobino found its statute of room of variety with its eight hundred places.

It was the first flexible dining room of the capital, before Le Zénith and the POPB. Opened in 1960, Palais des Sports welcomed important events in the domain of boxing, for example, and the services of the basketball players of Harlem globetrotters. This space in the arena shape that can accommodate between two thousand five hundred and four thousand spectators six hundred was also made known while looking to see and include Beatles, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Johnny Hallyday... And then also by allowing the creation of shows king size like Robert Hossein. It is also that of choreographies Maurice Béjart, Roland Petit were created, Rudolf Noureev musicals, such as Les Misérables and stage where the troops of Holiday On Ice or the Circus of Moscow made. Much less funny: Palais des Sports was requisitioned, just as the Coubertin stadium, so that you can park it Algerian citizens challenged during the dreadful night of October 17th 1961. Some died here. Today, the musical with large budgets and the comedians perform in this palace that has aged but who resists...

It's in a small, not very well-known corner of the 20th century that you will discover Lou Pascalou, "Le petit Pascal" in Basque. This cultural café programs rock concerts, songs or world music and meetings with writers. It also presents exhibitions of artists and projections of short films. Some evenings are also dedicated to board games or tournaments of the Paris Improvisation League (see the programme on the café's website). The place succeeds in combining culture, good atmosphere, discovery and sharing. The staff is charming, even during peak periods. A little extra: on sunny days, the large terrace is very much appreciated.
