Les Trois Baudets, Music venue in Montmartre, Paris, France.
Les Trois Baudets is a music venue in Montmartre with seating for about 250 people arranged close to the stage, where musicians of different styles and experience levels perform. The hall operates as an open space for live shows, accommodating everyone from newcomers to established artists.
Jacques Canetti opened this venue in the 1940s by converting an old dance hall into a performance space for emerging French musicians. The transformation marked the beginning of its role as a launching ground for artists seeking recognition.
The name refers to a French theatrical song tradition, and the venue became a gathering place where audiences discovered emerging talent and shared in new musical expression. Artists and neighbors formed a community around live performances in an intimate setting.
The venue sits at 64 Boulevard de Clichy and is easily reached from Blanche and Pigalle metro stations nearby. Affordable parking is available at the Mansart facility for those arriving by car.
The building closed in 1967 and spent decades as an adult cinema and erotic cabaret before Paris restored it to its original musical purpose. This unlikely chapter reveals how the neighborhood transformed during those years.
