Élysée Montmartre

The Élysée Montmartre concert hall is at 72 Boulevard de Rochechouart in Paris and retains an Eiffel-built structure beneath which concerts and dance evenings are held. Opened in 1807 as a ballroom, dances such as the can-can were performed there in the 19th century, and figures such as La Goulue, Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso passed through the venue. Between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, French and international artists such as Patti Smith, Alain Souchon and Jacques Higelin performed on this stage. The venue has also been used for recordings: David Bowie filmed and recorded his 1999 performance here, and bands such as Steel Pulse, Symphony X and Cradle of Filth recorded live albums or DVDs here.
