Au Lapin Agile

"At the corner of the rue Saint Vincent and the rue des Saules, on the northern slope of the Butte Montmartre, stands the Lapin Agile, like a beacon light, where it has been for almost one and a half centuries. A strange little enchanted house where each of us can hear songs which move us."
(dixit Pierre Mac orlan)

"In 1875 the painter-caricaturist André Gill painted a sign of a rabbit jumping out of a saucepan : "Le Lapin à Gill" changed quite naturally into Lapin Agile."
