Located adjacent to the world-famous Moulin Rouge cabaret in Pigalle, this venue was historically known as La Locomotive (or "La Loco"). In the 1960s, it was the largest nightclub in Paris and the temple of the "Yé-yé" pop movement. It hosted The Beatles and The Who, serving as a bridge for British rock entering French culture.
In the 1990s, it evolved into a techno hotspot, with DJs like Laurent Garnier holding residencies. Now operating as La Machine du Moulin Rouge, its three-floor structure continues to connect the historic Pigalle nightlife district with modern electronic and rock trends.
Multi-genre programming from 60s pop through techno to modern rock. Historic bridge between British rock and French culture.
