A
Moulin Rouge
Immortalised in the posters of Toulouse-Lautrec and later on screen by Baz Luhrmann, the Moulin Rouge twinkles beneath a 1925 replica of its original red windmill. Yes, it’s rife with bus-tour crowds. But from the opening bars of music to the last high kick it’s a whirl of fantastical costumes, sets, choreography and champagne. Booking advised.

Au Lapin Agile
This rustic cabaret venue was favoured by artists and intellectuals in the early 20th century and traditional chansons are still performed here. The four-hour show starts at 9.30pm and includes singing and poetry. Some love it, others feel it’s a bit of a trap.
It’s named after Le Lapin à Gill, a mural of a rabbit jumping out of a cooking pot by caricaturist André Gill, which can still be seen on the western exterior wall.

Crazy Horse
This popular cabaret, whose dressing (or, rather, undressing) rooms were featured in Woody Allen’s film What’s New Pussycat? (1965), now promotes fine art – abstract 1960s patterns as they appear superimposed on the female nude form.

Le Lido de Paris
Founded at the close of WWII, this gets top marks for its ambitious sets and lavish costumes, including the famed Bluebell Girls and Lido Boy Dancers.
