Bataclan, Music venue and theatre in 11th arrondissement, France
The Bataclan features a Chinese-inspired architectural design with a grand facade painted in vivid colors at 50 Boulevard Voltaire in Paris.
Established in 1865 as a cafe-concert venue, the Bataclan transformed from a cinema in 1926 to a prominent rock music venue in the 1970s.
The theater maintains a capacity of 1,694 people and presents diverse performances ranging from rock concerts to comedy shows throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the venue through multiple public transportation options, with several Metro stations and bus stops within walking distance.
The name Bataclan derives from Ba-ta-clan, an Offenbach operetta, while also serving as a French wordplay on the expression tout le bataclan.
