Cabaret De l'Enfer (Hell Cabaret), Paris


This would have been my all time favorite place to hangout If I lived back in the day...

Paris Location: Montmartre
["Cabaret of Heaven" and "Cabaret of Hell"] More pics here

"Look carefully at these two French Cabarets side by side in Montmartre, Paris. The one on the very left is called "CABARET LE CIEL", meaning "THE CABARET OF HEAVEN”. That's fine, so far. Bumper to bumper and sharing the same wall on the right side, there is another cabaret called "CABARET L’ENFER", meaning "THE CABARET OF HELL". Just try to figure it out! One is hell, the other is heaven! Are the French crazy or what? They are crazy, alright! The truth is, they are crazy like a fox. Those two cabarets were created by two Frenchmen who hated each other. The one who owned the "CABARET OF HELL" was an ex-clergyman. The other guy who called his Cabaret "CABARET OF HEAVEN" was an ex-convict and known in the neighborhood as "The morally bankrupt." The drinks at the "CABARET OF HELL" were more expensive than the cheap drinks served at "CABARET OF HEAVEN", but the food was bloody awful. The owner explained: "Mes chers amis, my drinks are expensive because all those who are going to hell dead or alive come here. They come here, because it is more fun than the other place. There are no rules here, like in hell. In heaven, MON DIEU! there is nothing but rules! So where you would rather prefer to go? To Hell or to Heaven?"-from a google search..

My thoughts exactly...I mean...who would really go to the Cabaret of Heaven? That's no fun at all.
