This festival is helping one of the most underrated areas of Athens get filled with culture and art, and is helping young artists to shine. It is co-hosted by Athens Art Network, the Organization of Culture, Sports and Youth of the City of Athens and the Region of Athens. It is under the aid of the Ministry of the Culture and Sports and has the support of the Ambassade de France en Grèce and the Institut Français d'Athènes.

This year the theme of “Petit Paris d'Athènes” is “Cabarets du monde” - “Cabarets of the world”
The trademark of the Parisian night life from the end of the 19th century till today became the source of inspiration for many great creators, artists, composers, poets etc. The folk origin of the high aesthetics performances of the Parisian Cabarets have influenced the entertainment, the evolution and the quality of performing all over the world for more than a century. Toulouse Lautrec, Eric Satie, Pablo Picasso and many other great artists who loved Paris and its cabarets, have left their footprints at” Moulin Rouge” and “Chat Noir”. Soon Berlin responded with the “Tingel Tangel “and other Berliner cabarets of the 30s.
