Moulin Rouge - Folies Bergère - Paris - Bottle Cap

Posters of the two famous french cabaret and music hall in Paris : Le Moulin Rouge and Les Folies Bergère.
The Moulin Rouge in 1900

Moulin Rouge (French for Red Mill) is a cabaret in Paris, France. It was built in 1889 by Joseph Oller, who also owned the Paris Olympia. Close to Montmartre in the Paris district of Pigalle on Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th arrondissement, it is marked by the red windmill on its roof. The closest métro station is Blanche.
Moulin Rouge is best known as the spiritual birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance. Originally introduced as a seductive dance by the courtesans who operated from the site, the can-can dance revue evolved into a form of entertainment of its own and led to the introduction of cabarets across Europe.

Maurice Auguste Chevalier (September 12, 1888 – January 1, 1972) was a French actor, singer and entertainer. He is perhaps best known for his signature songs, including Louise, Mimi, Valentine, and Thank Heaven for Little Girls and for his films including The Love Parade and The Big Pond. His trademark attire was a boater hat, which he always wore on stage with a tuxedo.

Josephine Baker (June 3, 1906 – April 12, 1975) was an American-born French dancer, singer, and actress. Born Freda Josephine McDonald in St. Louis, Missouri, she became a citizen of France in 1937. Fluent in both English and French, Baker became an international musical and political icon. 

Mistinguett (5 April 1875 – 5 January 1956) was a French actress and singer, whose birth name was Jeanne Bourgeois. She was at one time the best-paid female entertainer in the world.

Francisque Poulbot - Bottle Cap Images

Francisque Poulbot - 1913
Francisque Poulbot (1879-1946) is a french illustrator. He was a gifted draughtsman, but shied away from the École des Beaux-Arts. From 1900, his drawings started to be published in the press. He moved to Montmartre, and in February 1914 married Léona Ondernard, before leaving for the Front.
In 1920–1921, being very attached to the Montmartre life, Poulbot became involved in creating the République de Montmartre (!), with his friends Adolphe Willette, Jean-Louis Forain and Maurice Neumont. In 1923 he opened a dispensary on the Rue Lepic to help the needy children of Montmartre.

Poulbot was very famous for his illustrations of Parisian street childrens. The French neologism "poulbot" refers to illustrations representing Parisian "titis": street children. A perfect example is an illustration of Gavroche, the famous character from the novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo.
I really like these illustrations ! They are very famous in France.

Reopening the Blog !

Bonjour !

I'm back on the blog !

In May 2012, after 1 year of blogging, I decided to stop it because I was very busy with my Etsy shop.

This blog was originally a way for me to share my Digital Bottle Cap Images for free. Now the Blog will be about the French Belle Epoque and Années Folles with anecdotes about Parisian lifestyle - entertainers (Maurice Chevalier, Josephine Baker, etc) - cabarets (Moulin Rouge, Folies Bergère, etc) - and more !

I will also add Digital Bottle Cap Images with images of the Belle Epoque and the Années Folles.

It will also be linked with my ETSY shop, FOLIE du JOUR.

Folie du Jour is a french shop specialized in Antique French ADVERTISING posters and DICTIONARY plates as well as antique french objects from the french Belle Epoque (victorian Era) and the Années Folles (Roaring twenties).




Belle Époque:
The Belle Époque or La Belle Époque (French for "Beautiful Era") was a period in French history that is conventionally dated as starting in 1890 and ending when World War I began in 1914. Occurring during the era of the Third French Republic (Beginning 1870), it was a period characterized by optimism, peace at home and in Europe, new technology and scientific discoveries. The peace and prosperity in Paris allowed the arts to flourish, and many masterpieces of literature, music, theater, and visual art gained recognition. The Belle Époque was named, in retrospect, when it began to be considered a "golden age" in contrast to the horrors of World War I.




Années Folles: 
The Roaring Twenties is a term sometimes used to refer to the 1920s, characterizing the decade's distinctive cultural edge in most of the major cities of the "west" for a period of sustained economic prosperity. French speakers dubbed it the "années folles" ("Crazy Years"), emphasizing the era's social, artistic, and cultural dynamism. "Normalcy" returned to politics in the wake of hyper-emotional patriotism during World War I, jazz music blossomed, the flapper redefined modern womanhood, and Art Deco peaked.

Le Petit Prince The Little Prince free bottle cap images


The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince), first published in 1943, is a novella and the most famous work of the French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944).

The novella is both the most read and most translated book in the French language, and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into more than 250 languages and dialects, selling over a million copies per year with sales totaling over 200 million copies worldwide, it has become one of the best-selling books ever published.

Though ostensibly a children's book, The Little Prince makes several profound and idealistic observations about life and human nature. For example, Saint-Exupéry tells of a fox meeting the young prince during his travels on Earth. The story's essence is contained in the lines uttered by the fox to the little prince: On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. ("One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye."
