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.

They can also buy, at the bookstore or on the company's Internet shop, the books and CDs from this Cachette, which looks like a treasure cave.

CHEZ ADEL

Cafconcert
4.5/5
26 reviews
Closed - Open to 17h00

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!

Marie-Antoinette was responsible for this hall. Built in 1781, it hosted lyrical performances until 1794. After a few years of neglect, it was reborn as the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin. Romantic dramas, notably by Dumas and Hugo, were performed here. The theatre burned down during the Paris Commune and was rebuilt in 1873. Cyrano de Bergerac and Chanteclerc were created here. The alternation between classical and contemporary music keeps the place beating.

THÉÂTRE COMEDIA

Theater
4/5
1 review

For a long time, the Parisians had this theatre of nine hundred and ninety places under the name of Eldorado. It is also known as a first room built here in 1858. It is a luxury coffee shop where you can sing, dance and drink, as well as just, but where you can also watch small pieces and pantomime or dance numbers. This was created in 1868 a poem by Jean-Baptiste Clément entitled Le Temps des Des. After being put in music by Antoine Renard, we know what fate he will know. Many artists go to Eldorado as a beginner before they go back to their features: Paulus, Yvette Guilbert, Mistinguett, Mayol, Polar, Dranem, Maurice Chevalier. In 1918, establishments of the Maori'conc'type went out of fashion, so Eldorado went to Music Hall. There are magazines, as well as vaudevilles and operettas. A Yiddish theatre will then implement it before the room is demolished, then rebuilt in 1933 to become a cinema of two thousand places. The room will keep its aesthetics 1930. In 1971, Eldorado returned to the Live Show. In 1994, Maurice Molina, the new boss of the sites, began a renovation of the site. It was the Rebaptisera theatre in 2000. The program is eclectic from Goldoni to Knight and Laspales. Note: Classic mornings are offered in this room by L'Ecla Theatre.

There are two auditoriums, one seating 102, the other 64. The program is varied: theater, musicals and many shows for young audiences. We're located in the cellars of a former coaching inn. The venue was originally opened to contemporary theater by a troupe of five actors led by Régis Santon in the 1970s. José Valverde succeeded him until 1987, then Alida Latessa in 1995. It was she who created the second venue, dedicated to song. The ensemble offers a rich program.

NEW MORNING

Cafconcert
3/5
1 review

It is a mythical place that host performances of great jazz artists, starting with Art Blakey on the evening of its inauguration in 1981, followed by Chet Baker, Stan Getz, McCoy Tyner, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie and many others. In the beginning was New Morning ... from Geneva. With a lot of success in Switzerland, the founders of this club decided to open a new one in Paris in old print shops. It maintained its loft style decoration. New Morning has contributed to the revival of lively jazz music in the capital. Its great advantage is its direct link between musicians and its audience. Over time, it became open to blues, rock, song, world music and many orchestral of modern African or Latin American music. There were unforgettable moments here like when Prince took the habit of coming to play in front of a handful of fans who were amazed during his performance in Paris. It is also here that from the five hundred places in the club or leaning in the bar, we could - and still can - find strong personalities that are known or unknown.  In New Morning, Dee Dee Bridgewater or Cesaria Evora, to name a few, found a headquarter to conquer the European public.

1 review

The two rooms in this archipelago located in the heart of the 10 th arrondissement have beautiful hours in front of them. Since 2001, the establishment has been offering programming very related to music, live shows and animation cinema. All the arts are represented. And say that in 1893, this place was called "The Concert of the Japanese City" and was a popular coffee-concert, where Maurice Chevalier or Maxime Lisbon took Place in their early stages. It was only in 1911 that the room turned into cinema. The "Paris-Cinéma" was born and kept this name until 2001… From silent to speaking, through today's shows: this is a territory not to be missed…

STUDIO DES URSULINES

Cinma dart et essais

Here's another 7th Art cult venue to discover for its atypical aspect. Since 1925, it has been the first venue to screen avant-garde films for an audience of connoisseurs, marking the birth of avant-garde cinema in France. Surrealist and cubist friends André Breton, René Clair and Fernand Léger attended the 1st screening in 1926. Two years later, the Studio was marked by scandal when a screening of Antonin Artaud's La Coquille et le Clergyman led to a brawl with Breton and Aragon as instigators. Since then, the Studio des Ursulines has calmed down and welcomes young audiences and film buffs to discover avant-garde works, as well as animated films and ciné-club sessions.
