La Nouvelle Ève, Revue theatre near Montmartre, Paris, France

La Nouvelle Ève is a cabaret at 25 rue Pierre-Fontaine in the 9th arrondissement, with a Belle Époque interior redesigned in 1949 by architect Maurice Gridaine and decorator Rigal. Its stage measures 7.70 m wide, 4.30 m high and 5.70 m deep, and the room seats 280 diners at tables for dinner shows.

The hall opened on 24 December 1897 as the Champ-de-Foire, then was taken over by the mime Séverin, who revived the Funambules tradition. After passing through names such as Fantaisies-Parisiennes and théâtre Fontaine, it was bought in 1949 by René Bardy, owner of the cabaret Ève on place Pigalle, who renamed it La Nouvelle Ève. Architect Maurice Gridaine and decorator Rigal redid it in Belle Époque style, replacing seats with tables for 280 diners.
