Bona Ventura

18th arr. (Pigalle) · Paris

Madame Arthur

Culture venue

Opened in 1946, the first drag cabaret in France, where Coccinelle and Bambi once performed. Its troupe sings French chanson live with piano, rewriting lyrics and arrangements every month. Since 2024 the club also occupies the former Divan du Monde next door: three rooms, five bars and ten resident DJs playing French hits until 6am, with the whole room singing along.
