Throughout its long history, L’Élysée Montmartre has hosted a wide range of events and served a variety of purposes. In the 1870s, it was even converted into a war hospital and then into a production facility for balloons used to deliver mail.¹

Despite many changes, the venue has remained a cherished destination for live performances in Paris for 200 years — though this would almost come to an end in the early 2010s.

In 2011, the venue suffered a fire that damaged much of the building. Luckily, the famous facade remained intact. A team carefully restored this iconic venue, and today, it’s once again a destination for entertainment, hosting performances by a variety of bands and artists from many genres.¹
