It’s a huge surprise. The Art Nouveau charm is all that remains of this historical home of the French cancan, boxing, theatre, operetta and striptease, and which later on saw a parade of international music stars welcomed in the heart of the capital for memorable shows.
Some of those shows are unforgettable for the people living nearby, as well, because SPL “has its reasons of which reason knows nothing”.
