It was on the stage at Armenonville that the
legendary Carlos Gardel began his rise to fame.
One of the most luxurious nightclubs of Buenos
Aires' belle epoque of the second and third
decades of the 20th century, Armenonville
catered to the city's wealthiest residents, fea-
turing the top tango performers of the moment.
Though international tourists now make up the
better part of Armenonville's clientele, man-
agement has endeavored to create a show wor-
thy of Gardel's legacy.
Tip
Take advantage of Armenonville's af-
ternoon dance class. Though it is un-
likely that you will master the dance in
an afternoon, your understanding and
appreciation for the tango as an
artform will be enhanced.
