CABARET
AU LAPIN AGILE
student except Sat €20; 9pm-1am Tue-Sun; Lamarck-Caulaincourt)
This rustic cabaret venue was favoured by artists and intellectuals in the early 20th century
and traditional
chansons
are still performed here. The four-hour show starts at 9.30pm and
includes singing and poetry. Some love it, others feel it's a bit of a trap.
It's named after Le Lapin à Gill, a mural of a rabbit jumping out of a cooking pot by cari-
caturist André Gill, which can still be seen on the western exterior wall.
