On 2 May 1869 the Folies Bergères opened in Paris, a theatre which would see the birth of the first music hall review. The Folies Bergères is famous the world over, and is one of Paris's most prestigious cabarets, the symbol of the Roaring Twenties! It became the model for the Music Hall genre, and although other similar cabarets opened, none of them has managed to equal the Folies Bergères. The biggest stars have appeared on this mythical stage, including Mistinguett, Maurice Chevalier, Josephine Baker and Fernandel... The painter Édouard Manet immortalised this venue in his famous canvas "Bar at the Folies Bergères". And today, the Paris smart set still continue to flock to the Folies Bergères see the reviews or operettas. The Folies Bergères is situated at 32 rue Richer in the IXth arrondissement of the capital and awaits you with an exceptional evening's entertainment. http://www.foliesbergere.com/
