Le Divan du Monde, Theater in Pigalle, Paris, France.
Le Divan du Monde is a theater building on Rue des Martyrs in the 18th arrondissement that holds around 500 people across multiple levels. It now hosts concerts and live performances in renovated spaces.
The building opened in 1873 as the Divan Japonais, featuring Japanese decorative motifs that defined its original character. It replaced an earlier establishment and has since undergone upgrades to function as a modern performance venue.
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 venue sits in a central neighborhood with good transit access and easy walkability. Visitors should expect crowds during performances and should reserve in advance when possible.
The space expanded in 2015 by incorporating an adjacent room that previously operated as a different type of cabaret. This merger created more room for diverse artistic expression and broadened the range of programming offered.
