Au Lapin Agile
About
Au Lapin Agile, Paris’s oldest bar‑cabaret, is a living monument perched on the slope of Montmartre. Every evening from Tuesday to Saturday, 9 pm to 1 am, the historic stage lights up with a rotating cast of singers, poets, and musicians—ranging from classic French chanson to contemporary ballads—who perform in the intimate, dimly lit atmosphere that has charmed Parisians and visitors for over a century. The venue preserves the traditional Montmartre ambience with its rustic décor, communal singing, and the famed, hooded lamps that adorn the walls. Whether you’re a culture enthusiast keen to witness the living legacy of Picasso, a couple seeking a romantic night, or a nightlife seeker craving authentic Parisian charm, Au Lapin Agile delivers an unforgettable evening of music, poetry, and conviviality.
