"On the Champs-Elysées behind a landmark modernist façade that faces the planned Louis Vuitton hotel, this legendary cabaret has emerged from a nearly year-long gut renovation with an LED-lined entrance hall longer than many Paris runways and rotating video installations that change with the season or event (a Jules Verne–esque scene with a snow machine is queued for Christmas). Designed to be “completely immersive,” as Alexis Mabille puts it, the pre-attractions are meant to catch the eye—and the Instagrams—of the roughly 350,000 people who pass daily, while red velvet curtains can privatize gala dinners and film, theater, or fashion events. Working with architect Philippe Pumain and director Jean-Luc Choplin, the team enlisted specialized artisans to give the 1,000-seat venue the intimacy of a bijou Parisian concert hall, renewing an institution without making it basic or merely traditional." - Tina Isaac-Goizé
