Au Lapin Agile

Cabaret, Montmartre


Fodor's Review:

Au Lapin Agile, a miraculous survivor from the 19th century, considers itself the doyen of cabarets. Founded in 1860, it still inhabits a modest house, once a favorite subject of painter Maurice Utrillo. At one point owned by Aristide Bruant (immortalized in many Toulouse-Lautrec posters), it became the home away from home for Braque, Modigliani, Apollinaire, and Picasso -- who once paid for a meal with one of his paintings, then promptly went out and painted another that he named after this place. There are no topless dancers -- this is an authentic French cabaret with songs, poetry, and humor in a publike setting.
