Paradis Latin Cabaret

The renaissance

1973: Forty years later a new buyer shows interest. Jean Kriegel, a real estate developer, purchases the property occupying the buildings 28 and 28 bis rue du Cardinal Lemoine. He envisioned transforming the property into apartments.
.
Upon visiting the establishment, the new owner inspected room by room and to his surprise found eighteen thousand test tubes and Petri dishes. Vestiges of the former activity were present everywhere abandoned by the former owner.

Even more surprising, upon the destruction of partitions and false ceilings, the impressive metal structure created by Eiffel was laid bare...!

On its walls, shattered fragments of posters and pieces of scenery were scattered. Among them, the proud owner discovered a poster ... Paradis Latin (opposite side). On the first floor, workers found a stunning cathedral, with gilts and columns, arches and high top ceiling.

But the most surprising was yet to come: a superb cupola hand painted to the glory of pantomime, the opera, ballet and eccentricities.
Conquered by the magic of the places, Jean Kriegel decided to restore the hall for the glory of Paris, and to offer it the most beautifully adorned theater.

1977: The direction, production and artistic license is conferred on Jean-Marie Rivière.
On the 14 November 1977, he introduced Paris Paradis, a poetic and burlesque show realized in the collaboration with Simonini and Frederic Pierre Botton. It was an unequivocal success.

Le Paradis Latin reborn again from the ashes, and forever!
