About:
Le Petit Casino, at 12 Boulevard Montmartre is a show restaurant built in 1893 on the former site of the Oriental Bazaar and the Séraphin Theater. It closed its doors in 1948.
On the left side of the photograph, you can see the front of La Maxeville brasserie-restaurant.
La Grande Maxéville was founded in 1901. It was the architect Joachim Richard (1869-1960) who designed the new Grande Maxéville. His son-in-law, Georges Roehrich designed an establishment in a very pure "Art Deco" style. Imagine the rooms covered with engraved mirrors, one story high - including the ceiling and we'll get a little idea of what this wonderful restaurant was like.
Elves were dancing in swarms, on the blinds, on the walls, and on the ceiling. They symbolized the Parisian party and the joy of living and brought an undeniable touch of fantasy to this place.
The "Grands Boulevards" at that time were still flourishing. Luxury shops were spread out there, a nighttime activity allowed the restaurants to fill up very often. The theaters, including that of the variety show located on the opposite sidewalk, attracted a share of the clientele. During the day, people would come and sip a drink while listening to the orchestra. Many famous artists performed as "guest stars" at La Maxéville.
The Grands Boulevards and mainly the Boulevard Montmartre have always been one of the centers of Paris which exert the most attraction with tourists, Provincials, and also Parisians. It is indeed the central artery of the capital. Many varied shops, cafes, restaurants, and shows throng the famous Boulevard. As soon as night falls, one by one the signs light up, the facades light up; the Boulevard was lit up with a thousand different lights. There, a museum, opposite a theater, there again a cinema ... Finally, surpassing them all by its brilliance: La Maxeville.
La Maxéville formed, so to speak, the backdrop to this main artery of the financial heart of Paris.
Throughout the day, a special service was operated in a welcoming setting with a fixed price and à la carte menus, making it possible to satisfy the most difficult. During the day, a first-rate orchestra will be heard until 6.30 p.m., allowing amateurs to either enjoy a tea or an aperitif in a unique setting.
Afterward, during dinner, the orchestra will resume its auditions at 8 p.m. and end well after midnight.
Then, after the Second World War, habits evolved, and restaurants became obsolete.
It closed its doors and the sublime decor of the restaurant was reduced to dust. The mirror ceiling covered with sprites was taken down piece by piece.
