French cabaret

There is evidence of cabarets as early as February 1789 in the Cahier de Dolences.

The first cabaret was opened in 1881 in Montmartre, Paris: Rodolphe Salís' "cabaret artistique. Montmartre is a hill (the butte Montmartre) which is 130 metres high giving its name to the surrounding district in the north of Paris in the 18th Paris (ˈpærɨs in English; in French) is the Capital of France and the country's largest city " Shortly after it was founded, it was renamed Le Chat Noir (The Black Cat). Le Chat Noir ( French for "The Black Cat" was a 19th-century Cabaret in the bohemian Montmartre district of Paris. It became a locale in which up-and-coming cabaret artists could try their new acts in front of their peers before they were acted in front of an audience. The place was a great success, visited by important people of that time such as Alphonse Allais, Jean Richepin, Aristide Bruant, and people from all walks of life: women of high society, tourists, bankers, doctors, journalists, etc. Alphonse Allais ( October 20, 1854 - October 28, 1905) was a French writer and Humorist born in Honfleur Jean Richepin (4 February 1849 - 12 December 1926 French Poet, Novelist and Dramatist, the son of an army doctor was born at Medea Aristide Bruant ( 6 May 1851 &ndash 10 February 1925) was a French cabaret singer comedian and nightclub owner The Chat Noir was a place where they could get away from work. In 1887, the cabaret was closed due to the bad economic situation that made amusements of this kind seem vulgar.

The Moulin Rouge, built in 1889 in the red-light district of Pigalle near Montmartre, is famous for the large red imitation windmill on its roof. Can-can at the Moulin Rouge The main feature of an evening at the Moulin Rouge is the performance Pigalle is an area in Paris around Place Pigalle on the border between the 9th and the 18th ''arrondissements''.

The Folies-Bergère continued to attract a large number of people until the start of the 20th century, even though it was more expensive than other cabarets. The Folies Bergère is a Parisian Music hall which was at the height of its fame and popularity from the 1890s through the 1920s People felt comfortable at the cabaret: They did not have to take off their hat, could talk, eat, and smoke when they wanted to, etc. They did not have to stick to the usual rules of society.

At the Folies-Bergère, as in many cafés-concerts, there were a variety of acts: singers, dancers, jugglers, clowns, and sensations such as the Birmane family, all of whom had beards. Audiences were attracted by the danger of the circus acts (sometimes tamers were killed by their lions), but what happened on stage was not the only entertainment. Often patrons watched others, strolled around, and met friends or prostitutes. At the start of the 20th century, as war approached, prices rose further and the cabaret became a place for the rich.
