Le Cabaret Ramponneau IllustrationÉtienne Béricourt

This artwork (1784–1794) by Étienne Béricourt depicts the lively atmosphere of Le Cabaret Ramponneau, a famous Parisian venue owned by the cabaretier Ramponneau. It attracted all social classes and fostered revolutionary ideas. Known for selling wine below market price, the cabaret became synonymous with pre-Revolutionary Paris nightlife, where ’ramponner’ meant to revel until dawn.
