The Olympia (French: [olɛm ̃ pja]; commonly known as L'Olympia or in the English-speaking

world as Olympia Hall)  is a concert venue in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France, located at

[2]

28 Boulevard des Capucines, equally distancing Madeleine church and Opéra Garnier, 300 metres

(980 ft) north of Vendôme square. Its closest métro/RER stations are Madeleine, Opéra, Havre –
Caumartin, and Auber.
The hall was opened in 1888 by the co-creators of the Moulin Rouge venue, and saw
many opera, ballet, and music hall performances. Theatrical performances declined in the early 20th
century and the Olympia was converted into a cinema, before re-opening as a venue in 1954.
