Bobino is one of the most famous venues in Paris. It is located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris and can accommodate up to 900 spectators.
Bobino has undergone a great evolution since its inauguration in 1873; first a guinguette, then a café-concert and finally an auditorium. The establishment takes its name from a famous clown and puppeteer of the 19th century. The establishment closed in 1984 and was completely razed to the ground the following year.
A new version of Bobinche, his nickname, opened at the same location in 1991 but failed to attract a large enough audience and the adventure ended in 2009. Work began the following year to increase its capacity to 900 spectators. The magic works again.
