🎯The Paradis Latin

With its revue "L'Oiseau Paradis", directed and choreographed by Kamel Ouali, one of the most famous French choreographers, this welcoming cabaret introduces spectators to a festive and frenzied Paris.

🎯Bel Canto

Bel Canto has taken a concept that was fashionable in the 18th-century and brought it up to date: the combination of gastronomy and opera! This restaurant has two addresses: one in the Marais district and another in the West of Paris in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Every evening, customers have the pleasure of dining in the company of Mozart, Verdi, or Rossini. A quartet of young classical singers play the greatest arias in the repertoire near the dining tables (Don Giovanni, Tosca, The Magic Flute, La Bohème, etc.) and take part in serving food to customers. A unique opportunity to combine opera with good food!

❓Frequently asked questions

What are the biggest cabarets in Paris?

The biggest cabarets in Paris are the Moulin Rouge with its ‘Féerie’ revue and its 60 Doriss Girls, the Crazy Horse, renowned for its avant-garde choreography, the Paradis Latin, built by Gustave Eiffel, which presents ‘L'Oiseau Paradis’, La Nouvelle Ève at the foot of Montmartre with its starry ceiling, and Madame Arthur, famous for its transformist shows in a magical atmosphere.

Which cabaret should you choose in Paris?

Your choice depends on your personal preferences and your budget. For a traditional unforgettable evening with French cancan, choose Montmartre. If you are looking for more intimate and sensual shows, head to the Champs-Élysées. Lovers of modern artistic performances will enjoy the Latin Quarter, while those looking for an original idea for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day will find what they are looking for in the transformist establishments of Pigalle.

Where is the Crazy Horse in Paris?

The Crazy Horse is located at 12 Avenue George V in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, close to the Champs-Élysées and the Golden Triangle. This legendary cabaret occupies the former wine cellars of a prestigious Haussmann-style building, offering a magical atmosphere in one of the capital's most chic neighbourhoods.

Which show is a must-see in Paris?

The Moulin Rouge's ‘Féerie’ revue remains a must-see with its 80 artists and famous French cancan. ‘Totally Crazy’ at the Crazy Horse fascinates with its sophisticated lighting effects and sensual choreography. ‘L'Oiseau Paradis’ at the Paradis Latin seduces with its modernity designed by Kamel Ouali, while La Nouvelle Ève presents ‘Paris, je t'aime’ in an authentic Belle Époque setting with a starry ceiling.

What is the difference between cabaret and music hall?

Cabaret is characterised by its close proximity to the audience in an intimate atmosphere where the performers interact directly with the spectators. Music hall offers grand revues with lavish sets, luxurious costumes and a varied programme including dance, singing and circus acts, designed to amaze large audiences in vast venues.

Do I need to book in advance for Parisian cabarets?

Advance booking is strongly recommended for all Parisian cabarets. Legendary establishments such as the Moulin Rouge are 95% full all year round, with tickets going on sale six months in advance.
