Located at at number 28, rue du Cardinal Lemoine, the Paradis Latin is the most Parisian — and the most authentic — of all of the great Cabarets.

While it might not be the first attraction to come to mind when considering a trip to Paris, it should be somewhere on your itinerary. And since it’s located in the Latin Quarter, very close to Notre-Dame, the Panthéon, the Tour d'Argent restaurant, there’s a good chance you might be planning to be in the area already.

The theatre was originally built in 1803 on the rue des Fosses-Saint-Victor, and at the time was known as the Théâtre Latin.

In 1870 the building was razed by fire only to be rebuilt more than a decade later. Between 1887 and 1889 it was rebuilt the rue du Cardinal Lemoine by Gustave Eiffel, the French civil engineer best known for building the Eiffel Tower. At that time, it was renamed Paradis Latin.

Unfortunately, the new theatre didn’t remain open long and was closed sometime around 1900. It wasn’t until the early 1970s that rehabilitation once again commenced on the building, with it finally reopening for the third time in 1977 as a cabaret. The theatre is currently owned by Walter Butler, a French businessman.

Interestingly, it was a real estate developer named Jean Kriegel who bought the building in 1973 with plans the change the building into apartments. But as he took a walk through the building and as work begins, surprises are revealed.

When the false ceiling was demolished the metal structure of the Eiffel is revealed, along with a Paradis Latin poster. Workers continue to discover more wonders and finally Mr. Kreigel decides to reconstruct the theater according to Eiffel’s original plans.

Since then, millions of spectators have visited the Paradis Latin. Get your Paradis Latin tickets in Paris to be one of them!
