Paradis Latin

The Paradis Latin stands out with a grand, white facade tucked into the narrow streets of the Latin Quarter. Napoleon Bonaparte commissioned the original structure in eighteen oh three, though the fire that leveled it during the Siege of Paris in eighteen seventy forced a complete reconstruction. Gustave Eiffel designed the current interior, hiding a massive iron framework beneath the ornate theater. It remains the oldest cabaret in Paris, where dancers still perform beneath that original metal skeleton in the heart of the city.
