EDITORS COMMENTS
Montmartre Cabarets: A Peek into Parisian Nightlife of Circa 1905 This photograph transports us back in time to the vibrant and eclectic Montmartre district of Paris during the early 1900s. The image showcases two of the most celebrated nightspots on the Boulevard de Clichy: Du Ciel et de l'Enfer. The name of these cabarets, which translates to 'From Heaven and Hell,' aptly reflects the contrasting nature of the entertainment they offered. Du Ciel, with its elegant facade, promised a night of divine entertainment. The cabaret was renowned for its sophisticated atmosphere, live music, and refined clientele. Artists, writers, and intellectuals would frequent Du Ciel, drawn to its bohemian charm and the opportunity to mingle with like-minded individuals. In stark contrast, De l'Enfer, located just next door, offered a more diabolical alternative. Its decor was dark and seductive, and the entertainment was often risqué and provocative. The cabaret attracted a more daring and adventurous crowd, who reveled in the forbidden and the scandalous. The Montmartre district was known for its artistic and bohemian spirit, and these cabarets were no exception. They played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of Paris during this era, providing a space for creativity, expression, and the breaking of social norms. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Montmartre's nightlife, where heaven and hell coexisted, and the boundaries between art, entertainment, and vice were blurred.
