I loved this bar, brings back good memories! After visiting, my ex-boyfriend named his band after it and in reference to what was once the cabaret club!

The location is right, but the cabaret no longer exist. The cabaret was was demolished in the 60's. Only remains the name of the bar, called "aux Folies" in reference to "Les Folies-Belleville", where Piaf and Chevalier reportedly sang
