Le Ciel - Paris Cabaret Nightclub
Le Ciel, Montmartre - Paris Cabaret Nightclub - Cover, featuring a showgirl balancing on a moon (forming the C of Ciel), being serenaded by a young man. The Cabaret du Ciel (Cabaret of Heaven) was an early version of modern theme restaurants, with a theme centered around celestial concepts connected to the afterlife in Paradise. Inside the restaurant, beer was served, and the customers were greeted by acts such as angels playing music, St. Peter sprinkling holy water from the heavens, as well as reenactments of scenes related to Dantes Inferno. In one part of the hall, there was a giant golden pig, surrounded by candles (as shown here). The patrons formed a line, as they approached the statue of the animal, bowing and making the sign of the cross before it. Date: circa 1905
