Madame Arthur

Madame Arthur is a drag cabaret venue in the Rue des Martyrs, 18th arrondissement of Paris. It is named after the synonymous song.

History[]

Madame Arthur opened in 1946 as the first transvestite cabaret, which took its name from the famous song written in 1860 by Paul de Kock and performed by Yvette Guilbert.

Having been closed for many years, it was entirely restored and reopened in November 2015 by Divan du Monde, which has the neighbouring venue.

Coccinelle began her entertainment work at Madame Arthur.^[1] Marie-Pierre Pruvot (known as Bambi) also worked there.^[2]^{[non-primary source needed]}
