Concert halls Paris 20th 75020

You will have to climb the hill of Belleville, get lost in a maze of little frequented streets, but full of charm, and you will find this place so typical, whose name alone sums up the spirit. Here, songs, accordion, evenings dedicated to the kid Piaf, to the barrel organ with Riton the Crank, you will have understood it, one resuscitates a Paris of former days. To have a drink or enjoy a board to share, for a meal with good products, simple cuisine and desserts that hold the body, it is also an excellent place. If the ghosts of the artists of yesteryear hover here, it's no coincidence. You will have understood that this is an institution.

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.

Located in an old small factory, this location in Ménilmontant can contain three hundred and fifty people. The room has a mezzanine. The musical program is eclectic and quality. The following went: Magic Malik, Cheikh Tidiane Seck, Katerine, Louis Bertignac, Omar Sosa, Gabriel Yaqoop… Film projections are also organized. It is one of the most atypical halls in the capital, a place where listening music to the mezzanine bar becomes an electrifying experience.

This is one of the most dynamic addresses in Parisian public theater. Just a stone's throw from Place Gambetta, a high glass façade opens onto two auditoriums - one seating 780 and the other 184 - set in an environment reminiscent of an ocean liner, with its gangways and walkways. From contemporary creations to dance, the program is renowned for its quality.

There are three rooms at this address: XXL - 345 seats -, XL - 96 seats - and Le Lab - 90 seats - as well as rehearsal studios. Various companies present their shows. The history of the Ménilmontant theatre dates back to 1877 when two halls in the area are successively open for Saint Peter's patronage and the Salésiens fathers. There are numerous performances of children, teenagers and adults. Then there are "Passions", "Mysteries", "Mystères" sessions and "light projections", patriotic pieces, comedy, drama, lyrical performances, operettas… The current address was inaugurated in 1929. A former mentor, actor Georges Chamarat, is assembling pieces. In 1932, Passion was created in Ménilmontant, a show played by residents of the neighborhood who enjoyed a long success. In 1958, before founding the Théâtre de l'Est Paris, Guy Rétoré and his Guild settled in this theatre to which they gave their name today. The NPT of Jean Vilar also plays there. From the 1970 s, the Théâtre theatre opened to the song: Félix Leclerc, Graeme Allwright, Mouloudji… In 1979, a Théâtre Theatre Workshop was launched. And the adventure still continues today. This place must have grace!

This room, built in 1994 - two hundred and forty-five places - is a district that is subsidized by the City of Paris. It is managed by the New Theatre in November and offers theatre pieces and shows for the young public. Its programming is rich and varied: on the two slots of the day, many creations are proposed. At the end of June, "surprises from off Avignon" are in Honor. Finally, "Thursday mornings", pieces intended for the school audience.

The Tarmac was named International French-language theatre - Tilf - between its creation in 1985 and 2005, when it changed its name as executive. Valérie Baran succeeded Gabriel Garran. The latter's founding idea remains in force: present all forms of Francophone theatrical scriptures regardless of their geographical origins. Initially, the Tilf is nomadic. It occurs in various places - Pompidou Centre, National Chaillot Theatre, MC 93, storm theatre, Bouffes du Nord - and in national and international festivals. In 1993, it was recognised as a national interest and settled in the park of La Villette at the Pavillon du Charolais, a former bar of the cattle market in the theatre of one hundred and sixty squares. The Tarmac program is rich in surprises. This is where Maïmouna Gueye discovered in Bambi, she is black, but she is beautiful, provided a great success, as well as A Love Supreme, show jazz-theatre of Luc Clémentin according to the new of Emmanuel Dongala. Since the summer of 2011, the Tarmac has set sail and left La Villette. Direction Gambetta Avenue where the building then occupied by the Théâtre de l'Est Paris becomes its new house. More spacious, the room welcomes all French-speaking talents with passion.

For 50 years, Théâtre Ouvert in Paris has been a bastion for new stage talent, carrying the flame of an innovative and committed vision. Founded in 1971 by Lucien and Micheline Attoun, this nomadic venue moved behind the Moulin Rouge in 1981, becoming a place where generations of artists have come and gone. Today, on avenue Gambetta, the renovated theater, subsidized by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Paris, offers spaces conducive to the development of a contemporary repertoire, encouraging the works to flourish and their encounter with the public.

This concert hall is not devoid of charm, with its subdued lighting and rather intimate atmosphere, is a place where the public and the artists can easily mix and even share a drink. The programming, which is predominantly contemporary music, is very eclectic: pop, rock, reggae or funk. La Maroquinerie is very socially involved: it sometimes organizes concerts for noble causes or unusual festivals. La Maroquinerie also has excellent acoustics, which makes it possible to fully appreciate the bands that perform there. Look at the programme: if you like an artist, then don't hesitate to go for it, because the excellence of the venue will do the rest!
