(FILES) French Cabaret artist and transvestite cabaret owner Michou, whose real name is Michel Georges Alfred Catty, poses on June 13, 2016 in Paris. French comedian and actor Gad Elmaleh has been chosen by the Paris Commercial Court to buy out the business of iconic Parisian cabaret "Chez Michou", which is in receivership, according to a ruling consulted by AFP on October 8, 2024. The founder of the establishment, nicknamed Michou, died in early 2020. The transformist cabaret then ran into financial difficulties and went into receivership in mid-July.
