Cabaret (Haitian Creole: Kabarè) is a commune in the Arcahaie Arrondissement, in the Ouest department of Haiti. In 2009, the commune had 62,063 inhabitants.[1] During his dictatorship, François Duvalier renamed it Duvalierville (Haitian Creole: Divalyevil); in 1961 a construction project was begun. Construction eventually stopped, but the name was kept until Duvalier's successor, his son Jean-Claude Duvalier, fled the country in 1986.
