Cabaret l'Escale, Music venue in Migennes, France.

Cabaret l'Escale is a performance venue in Migennes with a hall that accommodates about 200 people. The venue presents concerts, theatrical shows, and musical events throughout the performance season.

The dance hall of the Hôtel de la Réunion was destroyed in a bombing during the Second World War. Michel Wattelier, who owned the premises with his parents, rebuilt it entirely in 1950 and renamed it "cabaret dancing de l'Escale". The hall later became known as "le petit Olympia" and hosted Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet, Charles Aznavour, Sidney Bechet and Johnny Hallyday. The city of Migennes bought it, restored it to its original appearance, and it reopened in 2004.

The place serves as a meeting point for different musical styles, where visitors can experience everything from French chanson to jazz and rock performances. This diverse programming shapes the character of the space and draws people who share varied musical tastes.

The venue is located in central Migennes and is easily accessible on foot. It helps to check ahead about upcoming events and any special access requirements for performances.

The hall was sometimes called "le petit Olympia" because of the French chanson stars who played there: Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet, Charles Aznavour, Sidney Bechet and Johnny Hallyday all appeared on its stage in its first life.
