Former hunting lodge of Napoleon III, the Chalet du Lac has been a concession of the city of Paris since 1904.
With its symphonic concerts, silent cinema, boxing matches, the Chalet du Lac is the meeting place for Parisians from the suburbs. In winter, skates are rented there to glide on the lake. In summer, its terrace welcomes walkers.
But dance is in the spotlight with its big tango orchestras from the Roaring Twenties, its popular post-war balls and its disco atmospheres from the 70s. Until 1990, the Chalet became a fashionable nightclub . The group "Les Sex Pistols" gave their first Parisian concert there.
Today, after three generations of the same family at the head of the establishment, Jean-Michel Moulhac has succeeded his father and restored the spirit of the ball. Tango orchestras, ballroom dances, rock and salsa come to animate its eleven weekly sessions. In 2003, after a year of work, he has just restored the Chalet du Lac, under the aegis of the French buildings, to its original appearance with the restoration of all of its facades.
