Set of the cult filmLe Péril jeune

A halftone blue cow's head, cut out and pasted on red and navy paper.

A legendary Latin Quarter bar, right by the Panthéon. Among walls covered with posters and all kinds of objects, Élisabeth and Adrien took over the bar in July 2026 to make it a genuine, warm place for everyone: students, locals, travellers and their dogs.

Questions

Are the concerts free?

Yes, all our concerts are free: gypsy jazz on Mondays from 9pm, blues on Tuesdays from 7:30pm.

Do I need to book for the concerts?

It's not required, but strongly recommended: on concert nights tables go fast, especially on Mondays. The easiest way, even for the same evening: the form, or an Instagram or Messenger message. You can also call us on +33 1 46 33 75 03. The bar opens at 5pm; concerts are from 9pm on Mondays and from 7:30pm on Tuesdays.

Can I book a table?

Yes, with the booking form, by message on Instagram (@lepianovache) or Messenger, or by phone on +33 1 46 33 75 03.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes, and gladly: we love dogs, they are truly welcome at Le Piano Vache.

Can I book a space or hire the bar?

Yes, whether you are an individual or a company. Three options: book a space for your group, hire the back room (up to 60 standing, cocktail style, or 40 seated), or hire the whole bar, up to 80 people (any day except Monday and Tuesday). Birthday, PhD defence reception, afterwork drinks, team or client evening: send a request with the “A group” form or email contact@lepianovache.com and we'll send you a quote.

Can I eat at Le Piano Vache?

Yes: boards (mixed, charcuterie or cheese), pizza, saucisson, croque-monsieur. The kitchen is open every day from 5 pm to 2 am.

Is the bar wheelchair accessible?

Unfortunately not: there is a step at the entrance, and the toilets are downstairs via a steep staircase, so visiting autonomously in a wheelchair is not possible. Before coming, call us on +33 1 46 33 75 03: we will tell you exactly what to expect and see together what is possible.

What are the opening hours and closing days?

The bar is open every day from 5 pm to 2 am. It is closed on 24 and 25 December and 1 January, and open as usual on 1 and 11 November and 31 December.

Where is Le Piano Vache?

At 8 rue Laplace in the 5th arrondissement, by the Panthéon. Metro: Cardinal Lemoine or Maubert-Mutualité (line 10). RER B: Luxembourg.
