Take a chance to see the iconic concert venue in the 9th arrondissement, the Olympia. The hall was established in 1893 by one of the Moulin Rouge venue creators. It had held plenty of opera, ballet, and music events before it was converted into a movie theater. Piaf’s friend Bruno Coquatrix opened it again as a concert venue in 1954, and Edith’s performance brought the popularity of the site to a new height. She performed there several times in four months, giving the most remarkable concerts of her career.
Set off to 67 Boulevard Lannes to see a small plaque on the house that says that Edith Piaf lived at the address for the last 10 years. It’s in this apartment that Charles Dumont presented Edith his song "Non, je ne regretted rien," which she praised and welcomed despite her not being in a mood to meet him before. She said that that was the song she had been waiting for and that it would be a great success in her coming performance at the Olympia.
The movie takes us to the Parisian brasserie Julien Brewery, and it was indeed the place the singer frequented in real life. She even had table number 24. The history of the brewery dates back to 1903, although the building has even more to tell with the Cheval Blanc Inn being located there since 1787. The place was the first concert café in Paname in the 19th century.
