Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle, located at 25 Rue de la Lune, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris and is a Catholic parish church built between 1823 and 1830. It is dedicated to Notre-Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle ("our lady of good news"), referring to the Annunciation. The neighbourhood of Bonne-Nouvelle, the Boulevard de Bonne-Nouvelle (one of the Grand Boulevards that replaced the Louis XIII wall in 1709) and the Bonne Nouvelle metro station are named after it. It was originally built in 1551 and was destroyed in 1591 by the Catholic League during the siege of Paris by the future Henry IV. Queen Anne of Austria laid the first stone of a new church in 1628. As a result of destruction during the French Revolution it became unsafe and was demolished in 1823, except the bell-tower which was integrated into the current building. The 17th-century church faced west (as possibly did the 16th century version) onto the Rue Notre-Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle. This was when the area east of the church, sloping down to the arch of Porte Saint-Denis, was a graveyard. The current church is neoclassical and was built by the architect Étienne-Hippolyte Godde between 1823 and 1830. Its entrance, facing north at 25, Rue de la Lune, has Tuscan columns before a bold, cool, barrel-vaulted interior.

Concert Mayol
Concert Mayol

The name Concert Mayol refers to a former cabaret situated at 10 rue de l'Échiquier in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. Opened on the site of the former convent of the Filles-Dieu by MM. Valentin Fournier under the name Concert parisien, this café-chantant was an important venue to perform in for the artists of that period: Paulus in 1882 (direction Musleck) then, from 1894 under the direction of Dorfeuil, Yvette Guilbert, Dranem, Max Dearly, etc. It is the place where Félix Mayol made his Parisian debut 1 May 1895. The entrance was then at 37 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis. Once he had become famous, Mayol acquired the establishment in 1909 and gave it the name Concert Mayol. Having moved the main entrance rue de l'Échiquier, he produced shows of which he was the star and in turn launched young artists including Valentin Sardou, Maurice Chevalier and Raimu. In 1914 he gave away the management to Oscar Dufrenne who dedicated the venue to music-hall in setting up, in collaboration with Henri Varna, extravaganza shows. Gina Palerme, Marie Dubas, Lucienne Boyer, Émile Audiffred, Gaby Montbreuse, Fernandel, Parisys and many other French artists performed in that venue. In 1933 Saint-Granier succeeded him and, after renovation, created an operetta that enjoyed great success. In 1934, André Denis and Paul Lefebvre specialized in "nude" reviews. After World War II, it did not find its audience back and vegetated in presenting strip-tease shows until it definitively closed down in 1976.
