Caveau de la République, Comedy theatre in Saint-Martin district, Paris, France.

Le République is a cabaret-theatre at 1 boulevard Saint-Martin, on the edge of Place de la République. Its facade carries a deep-red awning over the entrance, with dark metal letters edged in red spelling "LE REPUBLIQUE" above it and two red-framed poster panels flanking the door. Inside are two halls seating 200 and 470.

Created in 1901 by Charles Bouvet on the site of the former Vacherie farm, the venue first specialised in satirical song. Raymond Souplex, René Dorin and Pierre Dac began there between the wars, and after the Liberation it hosted Anne-Marie Carrière, Sim and the early Enrico Macias. Its 450-seat hall was renovated in 1992; in April 2014 the Comte de Bouderbala and producer Jean-Philippe Bouchard took over and renamed it Le République.

The venue's name comes from the boulevard Saint-Martin, which starts at the Place de la République. Its satirical songs once targeted French politicians, and the room launched impersonators such as Jean Roucas, Patrick Sébastien and Laurent Ruquier. Since 2014 it has hosted stand-up, with up to 3,000 spectators a day.

The theatre sits at 1 boulevard Saint-Martin, where the boulevard begins at the place de la République. It now has two rooms, of 200 and 470 seats, so check which room your show is in before choosing a meeting point. The entrance is on the boulevard side, under the red awning.

The site once held the "ferme de la Vacherie" before the cabaret opened in 1901. Sources disagree on its founder: most credit Charles Bouvet, but writer Raymond Guérin attributed it to his own father, with Frédéric Bouvet said to be the first performer.
