Studio Davout

Studio Davout was a recording studio located in Paris, France. It was created in 1965 by Yves Chamberland later joined by Claude Ermelin.^[1] It was built in the 1,200 m² of an old cinema, "Le Davout", which opened prior to 1946.

It was torn down in 2017, along with a few adjacent buildings to build a brand new elementary school and daycare center, which opened its doors in September 2024.
