Olympia, Historic concert hall in 9th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Olympia features a distinctive red neon facade and traditional interior design with spacious auditorium optimized for high-quality acoustics and visual experiences.
Founded in 1893 by Joseph Oller, who also created the Moulin Rouge, the venue originally showcased opera, ballet, and music hall performances before evolving into France's premier concert hall.
Designated as a monument historique inscrit, the Olympia has hosted legendary French artists like Édith Piaf and Jacques Brel alongside international stars, becoming a symbol of Parisian musical heritage.
Currently operated by Vivendi, the venue offers wheelchair accessibility and hosts diverse programming including concerts, comedy shows, and special events with tickets available through official resale platforms.
The venue was completely demolished and rebuilt identically in 1997 beneath its original facade, preserving its midnight blue ceiling and black walls while modernizing all facilities.
