We like Aux Trois Mailletz - but lets get some basics out of the way…read more 1) You are in the heart of the tourist district. Aux Trois Mailletz is in the Latin Quarter right across the river from Notre Dame. The only way to have more tourists around you is to go to the Eiffel Tower or to stand in front of the Mona Lisa. 2) French Urban planners have done the maximum to make this district look like the Paris tourists want Paris to be. Parisian urban planners have long been expert in impression management. See for example the Hotel de Ville which was intentionally built in a style 100 years older than when the building was constructed - so it would look "Traditional and Ancient" from the minute the building opened. * * * None of the above means Aux Trois Mailletz is bad. We drank here rather than ate here ... So I have no idea if the food is marvelous or terrible. A lot of Yelpers love the kitchen here. But I DO know two definite things. 1) The cafe is just opposite from Saint Julien le Pauvre. Saint Julien le Pauvre is an old and intimate church. It looks adorable. Significantly, it has some of the best acoustics you could ask for ... Which makes it a primo location for classical music concerts. If you are anywhere near Aux Trois Mailletz, Go across the street or get on your phone and see if they have concert tickets for your night. If they do, it will be well well worth it. 2) Aux Trois Mailletz is a piano bar above and beyond being a French cafe. The pianist puts a ton of classical music into the mix. Chopin figures heavily in his play list. Getting drunk on Armagnac, while listening to Chopin, and eating French snacks? What's not to like? * * * If you want to join the fashion police, You can comment on the 300,000 million tourists going by the cafe. Making witty comments about the passers by is one of the best games in town. Doing so while drunk is thirty times better. The street will give you unlimited amounts of first rate material for your finest jabs and snark. * * * So whether you a) eat, b) drink, c) listen to music in the cafe, d) listen to music in the church across the street, or e) show your moral superiority to everyone within one mile of where you are sitting ... A fine time can be had at Aux Trois Mailletz. Life is too short not to have fun.

Although you'll find some French people coming to Paris for the first time, or Parisians taking visiting friends / business partners from out of town. Let's get down to it. The Lido is as cosmopolitan place. Probably one of the few places where the staff will gladly speak English (or any other language for that matter). We got the dinner / spectacle combo. Dinner was more on the weak side: small portions, not exactly the exquisite French cuisine you'd expect for the price. The show, they say, is prepared with the help of one of the producers of Cirque du Soleil. Shame on me for taking that into consideration when choosing the Lido. It is "average" to be polite. But it's French Cabaret, "Lido", at Champs Élysée. So put on your best suit, and bring the wifey to this authentic Parisian experience. Make sure to come early, 19h sharp, so you can be seated at the best places at the table. If you can book a group of 4 or 6 people, do it. You'll have a table for yourselves. If not, prepare to share a table to distinguished strangers. In our case, two ill-mannered French girls who weren't capable of saying hi. So, IF you decide to do "the Lido", follow these tips: Arrive early Book for a group of 4 or 6 people Don't expect Cirque du Soleil Don't expect top cuisine. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Because very famous artists and chanson singers from the end of 19th to the beginning of 20th gathered at here to communicate with various people and drink alcohol and watch dancing of cabaret dancers. Picasso, Modigliani, Apollinaire, and Utrillo, and famous cabaret singer, Aristide Bruant. In 1875, the artist Andre Gill painted Lapin Agile's sign that was to suggest its permanent name. It was a picture of a rabbit jumping out of a saucepan, and residents began calling their neighbourhood night-club Le Lapin à Gill, meaning "Gill's rabbit." Over time, the name had evolved into "Cabaret Au Lapin Agile," or the Nimble Rabbit Cabaret. The original painting on canvas was stolen in 1893; a reproduction on timber was painted to take its place. The Lapin Agile was bought in the early twentieth century by the cabaret singer, comedian, and nightclub owner Aristide Bruant to save it from demolition. The Lapin Agile became a favourite spot for struggling artists and writers, including Picasso, Modigliani, Apollinaire, and Utrillo. The Lapin Agile is located in the centre of the Montmartre district in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, behind and slightly northwest of Sacre Coeur Basilica. Since this was the heart of artistic Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, there was much discussion at the cabaret about "the meaning of art." The Lapin Agile also was popular with Montmartre residents including pimps, eccentrics, poorer people, local anarchists, as well as with students from the Latin Quarter and a sprinkling of upper-class bourgeoisie. Pablo Picasso's 1905 oil painting, Au Lapin Agile ("At the Lapin Agile") helped to make this cabaret world-famous. The cabaret was often captured on canvas by another Montmartre artist, Maurice Utrillo.
