L'Olympia

About

The Olympia, located at the heart of Paris’s 9th arrondissement, is an iconic music hall that has been a stage for some of the world’s most celebrated performers since its opening in 1893. Originally built as a 2,000‑seat venue by the brothers Joseph and Louis Oller, the Olympia has survived multiple transformations – from a racing‑track attraction to a cinema, and finally a spectacular music hall – while preserving its distinctive red façade and richly decorated interior. Musicians and entertainers from Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel to The Beatles and contemporary pop stars have graced its stage, each adding to its storied legacy as a hub of Parisian cultural life. Today, the Olympia remains a go‑to destination for concertgoers, offering a blend of historic charm, state‑of‑the‑art acoustics, and a revered repertoire that spans from classic French chanson to modern pop and rock productions.
