Olympia

Olympia is one of those legendary Parisian venues that everyone knows. Why ? Because it’s the oldest music hall in the city. Since its opening in 1893, it’s hosted some of the biggest names in music, including Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Johnny Hallyday, as well as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. With its iconic red neon lights announcing the artists, its striking façade is hard to miss ! So, if your favorite artist is performing at the Olympia, the team at Charing Cross will be delighted to welcome you just a 10-minute walk from this iconic venue.
