Le Bal Blomet | Historic Jazz & Cabaret Venue in Paris
Le Bal Blomet – Historic Jazz Club & Artistic Cabaret in Paris
Founded in 1924, Le Bal Blomet brings the artistic energy of Montparnasse’s Années folles into an intimate contemporary venue. Its programme moves between jazz, classical music, cabaret, musical performances and cultural talks, all presented in a warm room inspired by 1920s Paris and New York speakeasies.
TLC Paris tip: Check the programme carefully, as Le Bal Blomet presents much more than jazz, including classical concerts, cabaret and cultural events. The seated room is intimate, so advance booking is recommended for popular performances. Arrive early enough to settle in and appreciate the venue’s restored historic atmosphere.
