A fabulous night of entertainment - a professional show. The meal prior to the show was great as well - typically French with snails and frogs legs. Leave a Comment Address: Paris

Fantastic caberet show and half a bottle of champagne included in the price of a ticket which is 500 francs each. In the red light district, so watch your belongings and prepare to see some of the seedier side of Paris along the road. Address: Pigalle, Paris

I actually had an opportunity to go to the show. It's very expensive, but if you can do it, it's a great splurge.
I didn't have dinner there, but I met up with friends who did, and they said it was actually quite good. someone lamented the price of drinks, but they give you half a bottle of champagne, which I found to be more than adequate.
Elaborate staging, beautiful dancers, great music-what can I say? It's worth it.
one highlight is actually the interior of the theatre, painted with wild murals.
You must book this in advance, as the shows do fill up. One caveat- they don't take your money when you book or at the door. Instead, a waiter comes to the table during the show and collects. I found that having to deal with putting the credit card through, especially for a table full of people, while trying to enjoy the show I was paying such a huge amount of money for, was really irritating.
if you love cabaret and burlesque, this is the real thing and not to be missed.
Also, be aware that you will be in the red light district at night- as a woman alone, I found this a little stressful. Leave a Comment Address: Place Clichy, near either Pigalle or Clichy MetroOther Contact: They have a website.

Of course, the Moulin Rouge ! Definitely a site to see in person.
I had the opportunity for a front seat to the event, which proved to be a little uncomfortable at first, considering I did not have a full view of the show, but a full view of the dancers! Preshow consisted of music while you had dinner and danced. The food was good. The stag rolled out to my leg and the show began. Mid-show, the stage rolled back and what was originally the dance floor opened up to a large water tank which rose to contain a snake.

Organised through the Pariserve web site. It was great value and the show was fabulous. Didn't finish until after 1pm so we were glad to be delivered back to our hotel by bus - we got back to our hotel at 2:30.
If it looks like rain take an umbrella, as you have to line up outside the Moulin Rouge until the dinner guests have left and there is no cover. Leave a Comment

The Moulin Rouge has been well covered by other tips, but I just wanted to add that....
The Water Tank Snake Act is back!!
The show includes the Can Can again!!!
Still don't bother with the dinner, is pretty bad, but the show is good, and by the time you've had a few days in Paris, the huge price you pay for tickets won't seem so bad! Leave a Comment

Unless you absolutely must go to say you went, stay away from this horrible tourist trap. I knew it would be bad, but I had no idea how bad. Although by the end of the night, with a bottle of champagne in us, woozily walking through fascinating Montmartre we had a great time- I have to warn everyone to stay away! The Moulin Rouge was terrible. The girls are beautiful of course, but even that is not enough to justify sitting through that nightmare. Aside from the topless ingénues there is nothing redeemable left. The music was retched. The tired and crusty lounge singer who came on stage to open had no sense of his ridiculousness and no sense of irony so he could not even camp up the show which would have been the saving grace of the whole spine tingling embarrassment. If you are hoping for a throwback (even if cheesy) reenactment of the cabarets belle epoch highpoint, or at least some reference to the last turn of the century, you are so wrong. The Moulin Rouge is stuck in one decade and one decade only- from about 1975 to 1985. A nightmare of synthesizer laden tunes, cheesy vocals, corny effects, lame ass attempts at humor, horrid lame sets which looked like a review of the worst of Broadway from 1980, I could go on. Even the highlight of the night, the Can Can was too short and lamely pimped out. Think the Laurence Welk show circa 1978 with some hot topless babes thrown in for safety. That's it. Maybe worth $10 for some laughs, but save your $100 a person and go to a real club. Or just enjoy the posters from it's heyday, and watch either movie named after the old place.
This place was a disappointment even for someone who expected to be disappointed. It seems like the owners need to be tried by a jury of their peers and banished and someone needs to call in the players from Vegas to put on a real cabaret... This place now is a shame and an embarrassment to cabarets everywhere. It was not even good in a campy or humorous way. Just sad. Thank god for the drinks!
