84 Boulevard de Rochechouart, 75018 Paris, France
Le Chat Noir (“The Black Cat”) was a nineteenth-century entertainment establishment. Originally it was opened at 84 Boulevard de Rochechouart by the impresario Rodolphe Salis, and closed in 1897 not long after Salis' death. Famous regulars included Guy de Maupassant, Pablo Picasso, Paul Verlaine.
Best known now by its iconic Théophile Steinlen poster, in its heyday it was a bustling nightclub that was part artist salon, part rowdy music hall. Famous regulars included Guy de Maupassant, Pablo Picasso, Paul Verlaine. From 1882 to 1895 the cabaret published a weekly magazine with the same name, featuring literary writings, news from the cabaret and Montmartre, poetry, and political satire.
The cabaret was later moved to 68, Boulevard de Clichy, which became its last location.
