THE "FGO* BARBARA" EVOKES THE BASTILLE AND THE NAME IS HERMETIC
*"Fleury Goutte d'Or" after the small street that leads to it.
"FGO" sounds like a non-governmental organization and the singer Barbara (1930-1997) is much less known now.
Its design seems meant to keep the public away.
The FGO Barbara
1 rue de Fleury
Its true that its impact is positive. This evening of slam let poets perform for the first time:
Waiting to enter.

Opened in 2008,
the establishment must have been planned
shortly after the Socialist electoral victory of 2001.
Its opaque name and forbidding appearance
make it impossible to think that
La Goutte d'Or was seen as a destination then.
