LA MAROQUINERIE PARIS 20
La Maroquinerie, located at 23 Rue Boyer in Paris's 20th arrondissement, was originally a 19th-century leather goods workshop before its conversion into a music venue in 1997, with some sources indicating its opening as a cultural space in 1995. The venue, which expanded to include a restaurant in 2005, is known for hosting rock, pop, and metal, among other genres like indie, electronic, folk, chanson, world music, reggae, funk, electro-acoustic, and hip-hop. It also facilitates specialized festivals and ancillary events such as talks, debates, showcases, and art exhibitions in its restaurant space. La Maroquinerie is recognized for its intimate atmosphere and its role in supporting emerging artists, offering audiences close encounters with bands due to its ground-level stage and cozy setting. Its excellent acoustics are attributed to the building's industrial origins, featuring robust construction and exposed brick elements that contribute to its authentic, industrial-era character.
