Babour Sauvage: a new cultural and festive barge in the heart of the Parc de la Villette

Babour Sauvage, moored on the Canal de l'Ourcq opposite the Cabaret Sauvage, is positioned as a new cultural and festive venue in Paris. Concerts, DJ sets, cabarets and comedy will intersect in an intimate, eclectic setting.

In the heart of the Parc de la Villette, a new floating stage has appeared: Babour Sauvage, a barge transformed into a performance venue and party space, imagined by Meziane Azaïche as the intimate counterpart to the famous Cabaret Sauvage. With a capacity of 200 people spread over two levels, this atypical venue is intended to be a veritable crossroads of cultures and artistic disciplines, with a deliberately eclectic, intergenerational program.

Located at 59 boulevard MacDonald (75019), this barge aims to appeal to a Parisian public in search of new cultural experiences, in a convivial setting. Dehya Azaïche, daughter of the founder, is at the helm of this family project, proposing an agenda built around comedy residencies, intimate concerts, hybrid cabarets and electro or world DJ nights. Each day of the week would have its own artistic color, from stand-up on Wednesdays to chaâbi music on Thursdays, via electro oriental sets and Latin evenings on weekends.

On Sundays, the program would open up to festive, offbeat formats, including daytime drag queens. And to combine culture with culinary delights, we'll be offering sharing planks and house cocktails on the terrace or in the hall.

This new space has a strong commitment to supporting emerging artists, creating links and offering inclusive, accessible events. The highlight of the launch will be "Le Babour fait son show!", scheduled for May 28, 2025, when the barge will take over the Cabaret Sauvage for an evening of comedy by Nordine Ganso, Ilyes Mêla and their guests.
