LA BELLEVILLOISE

Funded in 1877 right after the “Commune”, La Bellevilloise, first Parisian cooperative, aimed at offering access to political education and culture to modest people. Place of resistance, first commercial exchanges from producer to consumer, early equitable trade and shows, La Bellevilloise had a leading role in the economical and cultural life in eastern Paris from 1910 until 1949.
Since 2005 Renaud Barillet, Fabrice Martinez and Philippe Jupin three agitators from the show business, production industry and media reopened this historical building for the Parisian audience with a strong project: give life again to the spirit of La Bellevilloise by creating a huge independent place with artistic activities and happenings for the public, companies and medias which is unique in Paris.
