Comment

The existence of a ball at this 3rd arrondissement address dates back to 1912, in a wine bar that had been a hotel since 1860. In 1924, the new owner was Marius Bonnes, a native of Aveyron. The ball had a reputation for being poorly attended and rather dirty. But it was at this time that Edith Piaf, then a beginner, sang at Marius' as Tania. Marius Bonne will sell in 1936
