Goguette
A Goguette was a singing society in France and Belgium, and its members were called ''goguettiers''. As well as providing venues for informal solo and ensemble singing, goguettes also served as places for drinking, socialising, and recreation. Goguettes can trace their history back to 1729 and the "'' Société du Caveau''" in Paris, founded by poet and chansonnier Pierre Gallet (1698–1757), but their heyday was in the years 1818–1900. They can still be found today. In the early 19th century, goguettes met in the premises of cafés and restaurants, and provide a space for their members (for a small fee) to sing in public or to have their own compositions sung. Songs would explore well-worn epicurean themes such as drinking and eating, though political and social songs also played an important part. Open to all social ranks, in practice they tended to attract literate men from the artisan class; they were also associated with revolutionary politics and were carefully monitored b ...

Café-chantant
(French: lit. 'singing café'), , or , is a type of musical establishment associated with the Belle Époque in France. The music was generally lighthearted and sometimes risqué or even bawdy but, as opposed to the cabaret tradition, not particularly political or confrontational. Although there is much overlap of definition with cabaret, music hall, vaudeville, etc., the was originally an outdoor café where small groups of performers performed popular music for the public. National variations The tradition of such establishments as a venue for music has its origins in Paris and London of the eighteenth century.

Guinguette
The guinguette was a popular drinking establishment in the suburbs of Paris and of other cities in France. Guinguettes would also serve as restaurants and often as dance venues. The origin of the term comes from ''guinguet'', indicating a local sour, light white wine. The 1750 ''Dictionnaire de la langue française'' defined guinguette as a "small cabaret in the suburbs and the surrounds of Paris, where craftsmen drink in the summer and on Sundays and on Festival days. This term is new. It comes apparently from what is sold in these cabarets: a sour light local green wine, that is called ''ginguet'', such as found around Paris." A ''goguette'' was a similar kind of establishment. History During the 18th century, a consumer revolution led once isolated villages and hamlets outside Paris to be swept up in a booming material culture. Commodities, and particularly alcohol, consumed outside the customs barrier of the city were considerably cheaper, being exempt from state taxes. Th ...

Artisan
An artisan (from french: artisan, it, artigiano) is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates material objects partly or entirely by hand. These objects may be functional or strictly decorative, for example furniture, decorative art, sculpture, clothing, food items, household items and tools and mechanisms such as the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker. Artisans practice a craft and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an artist. History The adjective "artisanal" is often used in describing hand-processing in contrast to an industrial process, such as in the phrase ''artisanal mining''. Thus, "artisanal" is sometimes used in marketing and advertising as a buzz word to describe or imply some relation with the crafting of handmade food products, such as bread, beverages or cheese. Many of these have traditionally been handmade, rural or pastoral goods but are also now commonly made on a larger scale with automated mechani ...
