Le Divan du Monde

Le Divan du Monde, Theater in Pigalle, Paris, France.

Le Divan du Monde occupies the building at 75 rue des Martyrs in Pigalle, in the 18th arrondissement, where a red banner reading "LEDIVAN DU MONDE" hangs above two arched openings at street level. It is a converted theatre now used as a concert and cabaret space, with a second room built in the basement. Since 2015 it has operated as an annex of the Madame Arthur cabaret.

A ballroom called the Musette de Saint-Flour stood here in 1830, later the Bal Brunet; by 1861 the site housed the Brasserie des Martyrs, frequented by Baudelaire, Degas and Jules Vallès. In December 1885 Théophile Lefort named it Le Divan japonais for its Japanese-style decor, and his successor Jehan Sarrazin added a basement room, the Temple de la Bonne Humeur. Yvette Guilbert triumphed there in 1891; after a 1901 purchase by Paul Ruez it became the Théâtre de la Comédie mondaine with 350 seats, then a cinema from 1957 until 1990.

The venue sits on Rue des Martyrs, a street known for its connection to bohemian life and artistic movements. The name reflects its original inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, which influenced the decoration and cultural identity of the space.

The entrance is at 75 rue des Martyrs in Pigalle, in the 18th arrondissement; the red "LEDIVAN / DU MONDE" banner marks the facade above two arched openings. The hall is an annex of the Madame Arthur cabaret, so the programme mixes travesti shows with club nights honouring French song. Check which of the two adjoining rooms hosts the evening before booking.

The red street banner reading "LEDIVAN" over "DU MONDE" marks the entrance at 75 rue des Martyrs. The venue's own history includes a 1894 pantomime, Le Coucher de la Mariée, in which Blanche Cavelli appeared in a translucent pink bodysuit and caused a scandal. In 2015 the hall became an annex of the cabaret Madame Arthur, whose travesti artists stage a new show each week.
