Live Entertainment in Paris

La Cigale is Paris's most elegant mid-size concert venue — a magnificent 2,000-capacity 1887 Belle Époque theater on the Montmartre boulevard designed by Garnier (architect of the Opéra Garnier) that hosts rock, pop, and world music concerts in one of the most beautiful theatrical interiors in France. Located steps from the Moulin Rouge and the Sacré-Cœur, La Cigale sits at the heart of Montmartre's entertainment heritage and presents both French and international artists in a setting of extraordinary historical and artistic significance.

Le Bataclan is Paris's most poignant concert venue — a 1,500-capacity 1865 theater in the 11th arrondissement that reopened after the November 2015 terrorist attack with Sting performing at the first concert, becoming a symbol of Paris's resilience and defiance. Long before 2015, Bataclan was one of France's most beloved mid-size venues; today it continues as an active concert hall presenting major touring artists as a statement that Paris's commitment to live music and freedom of cultural expression is unwavering.

L'Olympia is France's most legendary concert hall — a 1,996-seat Grand Boulevard institution that launched the careers of Édith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, and the Beatles (who played their first Paris concert here in 1964). Still operating as an active concert venue presenting both French stars and international touring artists, L'Olympia carries 150 years of French popular music history in a building that has witnessed more defining moments in Chanson and pop culture than any other venue in Europe.

Accor Arena (formerly Palais Omnisports de Bercy) is Paris's premier indoor entertainment venue — a 20,300-capacity arena with a distinctive grass-covered pyramidal roof overlooking the Seine that has hosted some of the most celebrated concerts in French entertainment history. Michael Jackson, Madonna, and every major touring artist have performed here; as the primary arena for Europe's most visited city and the host of 2024 Olympic Games events, Accor Arena is the centerpiece of Paris's extraordinary live entertainment offering.
