The history of the Théâtre des Blancs-Manteaux began in 1972. A mecca for café-théâtre humor and non-conformist chanson, it has welcomed Renaud, Jacques Higelin, Alex Métayer, Michèle Laroque, Virginie Lemoine, Marianne James, Anne Roumanoff...

LE LIZARD LOUNGE

Cafconcert
3.7/5
3 reviews

In an atmosphere reminiscent of a New York alley with the long apparent red brick walls and the little mezzanine in metal reinforcement, a pub all that there are more Anglo-Saxon. Behind the long wooden bar, young British-style waiters are ready to prepare for cocktails whose home specialty is the Screaming Tourismegay, for an English audience always present in number. Large tiles everywhere display the numerous cocktails and snacks. At the bottom, the large two-piece cellar has its own bar and hosts Wednesday to Saturday Djs from all sides - rather good programming for a bar: électro, house, groove, rythm'n'blues… for holidays with London accents.

YONO BAR

Cafconcert

With the close of the intimate at Richard and the opening of his replacement the Yono Bar, we thought of seeing a character of this club located off the street, thanks to the large porch separating him from the Swamp's hustle and bustle. That is not the case. The place has nothing Asian but fortunately everything to celebrate. On the first floor, a small restaurant on the ground floor, a first bar - white white, clear but at the minimum. The once, a first cellar in the more developed atmosphere, is a mixture between the walls of the apparent stones, the conical bar and the mosaics. In the basement, a large cellar with chandeliers and two giant screens for video projections where live, and finally a small restaurant on the floor. The Yono builds on DJ and collective performances and always looks for new sounds.

THE JOKE COMEDY CLUB

Concert halls

The place is revolutionizing the practice: opened about a year ago, The Joke is a Comedy Club like no other. Quite different from many similar venues, here you can sit back and enjoy a drink in a cosy, intimate setting while watching established talent, or those of tomorrow, perform on stage. This comfort, which also applies to the artists, goes hand in hand with a program that varies according to the artist, from beginners to well-known figures. The audience can also be called upon to vote for the best comedian, for example.

THÉÂTRE ESPACE MARAIS

Theater

The theatre is located in a historic site built in 1676, the Hotel de Charny. Baudelaire lived there and Cézanne set up a workshop. Michel Bouttier and Sissia Buggy opened the Espace Marais in a wing previously occupied by a chocolate factory. Special feature of the hall: spectators surround the stage, you can be seated in an armchair or on a bench on the side - lower rates. Throughout the year, the programme features a large number of classics by Molière, Beaumarchais, Marivaux, Voltaire, Feydeau or adaptations of literary texts by Camus, Zweig, Sartre or Genet. The theatre is also a place for training - courses and workshops for all ages and levels.

Organised by the Creation Laboratory, the monthly evenings "J 4 ZZ" give musicians the opportunity to translate new ideas into complete freedom.

MICADANSES

Village halls and multipurpose halls

It is not strictly a concert room, but a set of studios that took the name of Micadanses - the places allowed the contemporary Theatre of La Danse to be held. However, there are various benefits, including creations of artists in residence. Amateurs of contemporary dance are welcome. Important: as the number of spectators is reduced, the place must be reserved. In addition, spaces at this site host events at festivals as Winter facts - Authors'Dances.
