Concert Mayol

The name Concert Mayol refers to a former cabaret situated at 10 rue de l'Échiquier [fr] in the 10th arrondissement of Paris.

Valentin Fournier under the name Concert parisien, this café-chantant was an important venue to perform in for the artists of that period: Paulus in 1882 (direction Musleck) then, from 1894 under the direction of Dorfeuil, Yvette Guilbert, Dranem, Max Dearly, etc.

Having moved the main entrance rue de l'Échiquier, he produced shows of which he was the star and in turn launched young artists including Valentin Sardou [fr], Maurice Chevalier and Raimu.

In 1933 Saint-Granier succeeded him and, after renovation, created an operetta that enjoyed great success.

After World War II, it did not find its audience back and vegetated in presenting strip-tease shows until it definitively closed down in 1976.
