La Rose Rouge

La Rose Rouge is a Parisian cabaret theater created in 1947 at 53, rue de la Harpe, in the district of Saint-Germain-des-Pres. Originally a neighborhood restaurant, the place quickly became one of the most famous Parisian cabarets before being transferred to 76, rue de Rennes. La Rose Rouge is frequented by comedians like Alain Cuny, Roger Blin, Simone Signoret, Gérard Philippe and Maria Casares, but also by intellectuals like Aragon, Elsa Triolet or Jean Genet. Around 1948, Ferré and the mime Marceau do not meet more people, when the arrival of Les Frères Jacques and their pianist reverses the trend. Continuing this momentum, Yves Robert took the lead in 1949. The hectic activity of the place is traced in the fiction film La Rose Rouge devised by director Marcel Pagliero in 1951, where we see the staff improvise a show because of an impediment of Les Frères Jacques. Closed in 1956.
