The Nouvelle Athènes, or Café de la Nouvelle-Athènes, was a café located at 66 Rue Pigalle in the Place Pigalle in Paris, France.[1] It was the setting for many Impressionist paintings, as a result of being the meeting place for painters,[1][2] including Matisse, Van Gogh and Degas.

In 1874, a few artists met at the cafe to plan the first Impressionism painting exhibition.[2] Degas painted L'Absinthe in this place. Another notable denizen was the eccentric composer Erik Satie, who played the piano in the cafe, and was there introduced to a fifteen-year-old Maurice Ravel by Ravel's father.
