This place has real character: close quarters, stone ceilings, unexpected turns and backrooms, but, most importantly -- it's a sanctuary for excellent live jazz music! The crowd is generally older, with real appreciation for the setting and the musicians. Everyone seems very nice, relaxed and polite. There is a dance floor right in front of the stage, and there are... More

This venue is great for a very relaxed live jazz atmosphere. You can watch people dancing or take part yourself. The dance floor is very slippery so beware. The dancers were mature but there are a few young people. Drinks are 10euros. It's very hot and this was on 30.03.12 on a Friday, so imagine in the peak of summer.... More

I was in Paris for 12 hours between flights on St Patrick's Day, March 17, 2012. Walked down the Left Bank towards the Latin Quarter, which was packed... Made my way to Caveua de la Huchette to listen to some jazz and was not disappointed. I listened to a really wonderful New Orleans style jazz band led by a French... More

One of the best Jazz places in France ( I was told by my Franch friend). The music is good, some dancers are outstanding. There is a fee to get in, and the drinks are rather expensive. Seats are not very comfortable (you are supposed to dance, not to sit). Nice evening. More

My Parisian friends took me here on a Saturday night to see a jazz band and watch the swing dancers. Stepping down into the cellar where everything was happening felt like stepping into Paris in the 1960s. It was really interesting to see Parisians out on the town, no tourists around (except us - I think), just letting loose and... More

My wife and I came to Paris on our honeymoon and wanted to hear some live music. We tried out Caveau do Obilettes and was very dissappointed with American Musician who was performing. Mediocre talent and terrible singer. We decided to give it one more try at Caveau de la Huchette and were blown away! The Newcastle Jazz Band, a... More

We went to this place with my wife hoping to listen good music and drink a couple of spirits... Cocktails are "drinkable", music groups and musicians were very good. HOWEVER!!! the atmosphere was a hell for all of us! When you enter the club, firstly you meet a bar, the music platform or CAVE is in downstairs... It is a... More

Our last evening in Paris and we ended up at Le Caveau de la Huchette. Bought a drink from the bar upstairs and then headed down to 'the cave'. Absolutley loved the jazz and could have stayed there all night. The lead singer was incredible and could turn her hand at the trombone, flute, piano and trumpet.The fun aspect of... More

I went to Le Caveau with my husband and 2 friends for some dancing and fun. I suggest you ask to look downstairs before you pay, and see how crowded and hot it is first. You cannot see the caveau from the front door, where you pay...alot by the way. I believe we paid 56 euros. We went into the... More

A hidden gem! As I'd visited paris a few times before I was looking to avoid the typical tourist experiences. This definitely met all expectations. Don't let the fact that this venue is set in the heart of the touristy part of the Latin Quarter deter you. I went mid-week and apart from a few other tourists, the place was... More
