explanation: Joseph Oller, future creator of Moulin Rouge opened a roller coaster on Capucines boulevard near Madeleine church in 1887, but for a security reason he had to close it in 1891 and replace by a music hall with 2000 seats in 1894. Many French and international stars of music, circus, ballets etc had succeeded before becoming a movie theatre in 1929. Bruno Coquatrix transformed it again to a music hall in 1954. 40 years later, Olympia was threaten to be demolished but saved by French culture mister, Jack Lang.
