Paris – Around Town : Montmartre and Pigalle (part 3) – Cabarets and Clubs, Places to Eat

Cabarets and Clubs




  1. Au Lapin Agile

    Poets
    and artists not only drank in this cabaret club, some such as Renoir
    and Verlaine also laid tables. Picasso even paid his bill with one of
    his Harlequin paintings (see Au Lapin Agile).

  2. Moulin Rouge

    As
    old as the Eiffel Tower (1889) and as much a part of the Parisian
    image, today’s troupe of 60 Doriss Girls are the modern versions of Jane
    Avril and La Goulue (see Moulin Rouge).

  7. Cabaret Michou

    Outrageous
    drag artists and a legendary compère whose behaviour can never be
