Guided visit on the gay bars and cabarets of Pigalle (1890-1950).
Around the boulevard de Clichy, during the Belle Époque and then the interwar period, owners of disreputable bars and performers of popular cabarets created a nocturnal center for sexual and gender minorities. Pigalle became the matrix of gay, lesbian and queer subcultures. Wandering between these venues, some now vanished and others still there, this visit unfolds as a gallery of portraits.
This guided visit is part of a "Queer Paris" cycle offered by Clément, which also includes a visit on American gay intellectuals in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
