Comments

The existence of a ball at this address of the 3rd district goes back to 1912 in a wine bar with a hotel since 1860. In 1924, the new owner of this establishment was Marius Bonnes, a man from Aveyron. The ball is known to be badly frequented and rather dirty. But it was at this time that Edith Piaf, then a beginner, sang at Marius' under the name of Tania. Marius Bonne will sell in 1936.Automatically translated
