History
7 dates, written by Grand Hotels of the World from the sources below.
The hôtel particulier is built on rue Dauphine; it later hosts a literary salon.
François Laurent founds the Café Laurent at this address.
After his death, his widow runs the Café de la Veuve Laurent, one of Paris’s first literary cafés.
A Toulouse couple who own the cellar try in vain to make it a venue; Juliette Gréco and her friends then help launch the Tabou, a haunt of the existentialists.
The Tabou is still a jazz venue, hosting musicians from Lionel Hampton’s orchestra.
The Tabou closes; the Café Laurent later takes over and revives jazz concerts.
The hotel is fully redesigned while keeping its historic character.
