Paris – 02.06.2026: The traditional Parisian music store Paul Beuscher, which closed its doors in November 2025 after 175 years, has reopened on Boulevard Beaumarchais. The reopening was celebrated with a solemn ceremony attended by representatives of the city, the music scene, and members of the Beuscher family. The renowned business now offers not only classical instrument sales but also a modern concert hall, professional studios, and a workshop for instrument making.
Paul Beuscher was founded in 1850 by Hippolyte Beuscher. Over many decades, the business developed into a fixed value in the Parisian music landscape. Already in the 1940s, the company gained international recognition through the publication of famous music pieces such as „C’est si bon“ and „La Vie en rose“. In the 1960s, Paul Beuscher was also the first dealer in France to import Gibson guitars.
With the reopening, Paul Beuscher focuses on a comprehensive range that is attractive to both professional musicians and hobbyists. The new concert hall in the building is regularly used – with programs offering a stage to artists from different generations. The newly equipped studios are fitted with modern recording equipment and invite rehearsals and productions. The workshop enables qualified repairs and careful restorations of instruments, thus contributing to keeping the centuries-old craft tradition alive.
In her speech, the Beuscher family emphasized the importance of the reopening for the Parisian music scene and thanked the numerous supporters and partners who made the project possible. The goal is to position the company in a changing music market both as an established institution and as an innovative cultural meeting place.
The response from the Parisian music community is predominantly positive. Musicians and enthusiasts see Paul Beuscher as an important contribution to the cultural diversity of the city and look forward to the planned events. Several concerts, workshops, and exhibitions are scheduled in the coming weeks to celebrate the revival and underscore the historical importance of the building.
The reopening of Paul Beuscher symbolizes the continuation of cultural traditions in Paris and shows how historic institutions can reinvent themselves to continue playing a central role in the music scene in the future. The combination of tradition and innovation makes the new location a lively meeting place for musicians and music lovers.
