Bal Bullier

Bal Bullier was a ballroom in Paris, France, created by François Bullier in the mid-nineteenth century.

History

François Bullier was an employee of La Grande Chaumière ballroom. In 1843, he purchased the Prado d'Été located 31 avenue de l'Observatoire in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. In 1847, he finished remodeling the place and opened it to the public under the name Closerie des Lilas. The ballroom was a hangout for students where they could dance, play billiards, practice archery and shooting. Bullier added an oriental touch in 1850, and a Gallic rooster in 1895 with the Latin posting "salvatit et placuit" (he saves and soothes).[1]

The Bullier Hall was popular for dancing and drinking. The entrance fee was two francs on Thursday nights, and one franc on Saturday nights.Шаблон:Sfn

It closed its doors in 1940. It was located at 39 Avenue Georges Bernanos in the district of Val-de-Grace in the 5th arrondissement, at the location of Bullier Centre CROUS.
