Don Camilo, Cabaret and theatre in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France
Don Camilo is a cabaret and theatre venue in the 7th arrondissement of Paris where guests watch live performances during dinner service. The space is arranged with tables facing a central stage, allowing all diners to view multiple artists performing throughout the evening.
The venue opened in 1953 and quickly became an established part of Paris's entertainment scene. Notable performers like Léo Ferré and Claude Nougaro appeared here, helping define its reputation as a place for cabaret and chanson.
The stage hosts a mix of singers, impersonators, comedians, and ventriloquists who perform while guests dine. Audiences sit together at shared tables, experiencing the show as part of a collective evening.
The venue is located in the central 7th arrondissement and is easily accessible by public transport. Visits are only available during dinner service, so visitors should book ahead and plan for a full evening.
Performers rotate through brief slots during the meal, with the main artist saving their extended performance for after dinner. This structure creates a rhythm where viewers experience variety before the evening culminates in a longer show.
