Origin and history

At Michou is a Parisian cabaret whose history is closely associated with its director, Michel Catty (1931-2020), known as Michou. This place, located in the French capital, imposed itself as an institution of Parisian night and artistic life, although the precise details of its foundation and its evolution remain little documented in the available sources.

The name Michou also refers to other personalities, such as sportsmen or artists, but it is mainly through the cabaret and its director that this term marked Parisian culture. The cabaret hosted transformist shows and lively evenings, contributing to the festive and inclusive reputation of Montmartre, Paris' historic district.

The information available does not allow a detailed chronology of the establishment to be traced. However, his association with Michel Catty, who died in 2020, makes it a place full of memories for lovers of cabarets and French popular culture. Other Michou-named carriers (such as MPs or athletes) have no direct connection to this cabaret.
