[3] In 1830, the Latin Theater became one of the highlights of the Parisian nights where artists, bourgeois, writers, poets, journalists, politicians, intellectuals, students, workers, merchants, aristocrats ... Honoré de Balzac, Alexandre Dumas, Alexandre Dumas fils and Prosper Mérimée were regulars.

The new hall was inaugurated on Sunday, January 20, 1889, under the name of Paradis Latin, and was a complete poster every night, presenting revues and ballets.

There was a beginning of the songs which invariably produced in front of the public, the comic-troupier, the poivrot, the gummeuse, the peasant comic, the patriotic singer.

The directors of Paradis Latin then had the idea to call on acrobats, balancers, jugglers, contortionists, Chinese shadow-makers to complete and enrich their show.

Only the brasserie, starring Chopinette, a pupil of Bruant but with neither talent nor authority, and his clientele, largely made of students, did not allow him to survive beyond 1903.

On the first floor, workers uncover an astonishing cathedral, gilt, columns, arches, capitals and a glorious painted cupola.

[5] [6] Jean-Marie Rivière, artistic director, assisted by the author Frédéric Botton, presented the first Paris Paradis show on November 14, 1977, which was a triumph.

In 1981 a new show, Paradisiac, was produced and directed by Frédéric Botton and Francis Lai, who took a leave from his musical and film career for the project.

In 2019, Iris Mittenaere, Miss Universe 2016, is the celebrity star of Kamel Ouali's new revue at Paradis Latin.
