The famous French variety show, art cafe and a visiting card of Parisian nightlife. Cabaret has existed since the end of the 19th century and has been very popular for over 100 years. At first, this place was considered a “vicious institution” with frivolous morals. The cabaret room is always full, tickets for performances are bought up in advance. The show involves dozens of artists and hundreds of costumes made by famous designers.

I recently attended the 9pm show at Moulin Rouge, and it was undeniably an evening filled with entertainment and dazzle. The performances, especially the dancing, were nothing short of amazing. The venue exudes an antique charm, immersing you in a by.. Read more »gone era. However, there's a notable drawback that needs mentioning – the seating arrangement.
Guests are seated facing each other around small dining tables, and the lack of space between guests is a bit uncomfortable. The real issue arises if you're not lucky enough to be seated at the far right end of the table. In that case, your view of the show is significantly obstructed by the heads of fellow diners.
My husband, unfortunately, had to endure this predicament, and he missed a substantial portion of the show due to constant head obstructions. As for myself, I lucked out by having a slightly better view behind one person who didn't move much, but I still had to strain my neck to the right throughout the night, resulting in a sore left side.
Despite the seating woes, I must emphasize that the show itself truly justifies the high ticket cost. The entertainment value, performances, and ambiance at Moulin Rouge are top-notch. However, it's crucial to be prepared for potential disappointment if you end up with a suboptimal seat, as the seating arrangement could significantly impact your overall experience.
In summary, Moulin Rouge delivers a spectacular show that's worth the investment, but be cautious about the seating arrangement, as it may affect your ability to fully enjoy this dazzling spectacle.

History:
The Moulin-Rouge is a Parisian cabaret founded in 1889 by the Catalan Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler, who already owned the Olympia.
It is located on Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, at the foot of the Butte Montmartre.

Once seated we were greeted by our waiter and served champagne and the first course pretty soon after. I felt rushed through each course (I’m a slow eater) and the waiter just wanted to get through it. The food was unique and good. I absolutely didn’t like sitting with strangers (they seat 6 people per table in very close quarters) and dreaded their arrival. I wanted a romantic evening with my husband and forced small talk with these people was a nightmare (and they talked throughout the show too). I looked longingly at the balcony areas that had tables of two. Why did I have to pay so much money for this? The entertainment before the show was pretty corny but fine. The show itself was pretty cool with regard to costumes and set design. I didn’t like the overly skinny dancers (hello, rib cages) or the “modern” pieces they tried to do (some cheesy performances, especially by the male dancers). I would have liked more of the classic routines and very cool circus type acts (strong man, balancing act, roller skaters).

A must-experienced site in Paris! If you select dinner and show, please come a bit early as when we arrived at around 18:45, there’re already some queue for 19:00 dinner.

The dinner quality was actually quite nice, including a full set of entree, main dish, and dessert. There’s also one bottle of champagne served which you can not only enjoy for dinner but also for the show.
During the dinner session there’s live-band performances. After that for the show session the platform actually extend so it’s quite close the the front row of audience, and every table can enjoy quite good view to the show.
The performers team is very huge, during the 2hrs show there’re numerous scenes and costumes presented. We really enjoy the show, it’s definitely one of the iconic experience in Paris.
One suggestion is to book early, this time we reserved our ticket via travel agency, even though there was still availability while the price is much higher than the official site’s deal.
