Cabaret des Quat'z'Arts

Cabaret des Quat'z'Arts was an entertainment venue in Montmartre featuring three rooms designed by architect Henri Pille. The interior spaces combined gothic and renaissance architectural styles in a distinctive way.

François Trombert opened the cabaret in 1893 at 62 Boulevard de Clichy, where it operated until 1914. The venue marked a high point of Paris nightlife during that era.

The name referenced the four arts taught at the École des Beaux-Arts: architecture, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Performers and artists used the space to showcase their work and ideas through shows.

The former building stands near the Moulin Rouge in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. You can see the exterior of this historical location, though the interior is no longer open to visitors.

Between 1894 and 1905, artists created a rotating wall display where they shared current commentary: drawings, poems, and thoughts on events happening at the time. This constantly changing art installation let visitors see immediate artistic responses to the news and topics of the day.
