Discover the magic of Paris’s most legendary cabarets

No visit to Paris would be complete without seeing a show at this mythical cabaret!

A festive evening in Paris: feathers, sequins and the French Cancan

For more than a century, the Moulin Rouge has been at the hub of Montmartre nightlife with its own special exuberance and unforgettable shows. Sumptuous staging, originality, rhinestones, glitter and the celebrated Doriss Girls and Doriss Dancers make every performance simply magical!

With the show Féerie, the cast of 60 Moulin Rouge artists and dancers invite spectators to embark on an extraordinary journey. In the course of a series of different tableaux, the stage of the cabaret is transformed and successively takes on the appearance of a pirate ship, the Paris of yesteryear, and even a circus big top ... A 2-hour breathtaking show that culminates in the eagerly-awaited world famous French cancan!

A typically Parisian evening

Like the Eiffel Tower, with which it shares the same birthday, the Moulin Rouge is a veritable symbol of Paris. Immortalised several times by Toulouse-Lautrec, but also by the cinema and the film Moulin Rouge! by Baz Luhrmann - starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor - the indefatigable cabaret is the worthy representative of Parisian festivities throughout the world!

With its belle époque interiors, a passion for champagne and French gastronomy, the temple of French cancan promises evenings of entertainment in the pure tradition of festive Paris; a feast for the eyes and taste buds of the audience!

A joyful dazzling and quintessential cabaret revue in the heart of one of the most charming districts of the French capital.
