Overview

Since its creation in 1922, the history of Le Bœuf sur le Toit has been closely linked to a group of artists, musicians, poets, and painters who met every week around Jean Cocteau – the owner of the place. Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Francis Picabia, Picasso, Erik Satie, later Charles Trenet or Léo Ferré; these evenings gave rise to improvised concerts and artistic performances – so much so that the expression "faire un boeuf" was born within these walls.
