Return to Nolinski.

Evening: Cabaret show and dinner at Le Bœuf sur le Toit.

Le Bœuf sur le Toit has dazzled guests since its opening in 1921. It quickly became the heart of the city’s cabaret scene throughout the roaring twenties. At its premiere, pianist Jean Wiéner — brought by Moysés from Gaya — played Gershwin melodies accompanied on drums by none other than Jean Cocteau and Darius Milhaud. Pablo Picasso, René Clair, Sergei Diaghilev, and Maurice Chevalier were all in attendance.

Jazz musicians from all the Paris clubs would gather at Le Bœuf after their gigs to jam late into the night. After all, Paris was the city of jazz. The French expression "faire un bœuf", meaning “to jam”, comes directly from the name of this very cabaret.

Breakfast at the hotel.

Visit to the Palais Galliera Museum and viewing of the exhibition dedicated to Alber Elbaz.

This magnificent mansion was built over ten years, from 1856 to 1866, designed by architect Pierre Manguin for the wife of the cousin of Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck — the Marquise de la Païva. Adventuress and courtesan Thérèse Lachmann was born in Moscow. After marrying a modest French tailor, Antoine Villoing, she went on to captivate aristocrats in England, France, Portugal, and Prussia.
