L'Élysée Montmartre

The L'Élysée Montmartre stands as a pillar of Parisian nightlife with roots reaching back to eighteen hundred seven. This venue originated as a ballroom where the high-kicking, spirited movements of the French Cancan first gained their legendary reputation. The dancers who performed here, including the famous Louise Weber, known as La Goulue, turned this dance floor into a center of gravity for the city's bohemians and artists.
