Which cabaret to choose in Paris?
What is the best cabaret in Paris?
Each of these iconic Parisian venues has its own signature. Among the three main cabarets, you will certainly find the atmosphere that suits you best: the Paradis Latin, the Moulin Rouge, or the Crazy Horse. Each establishment offers a unique show that blends sensuality, extravagance, and tradition.
The Moulin Rouge Cabaret
The Moulin Rouge is a mythical place glorified by Baz Luhrmann's eponymous film. You cannot miss it if you stroll through the Montmartre district. The revue immerses you in the "fairy garden of the Moulin" with rhinestones and glitter. To attend the show at this temple of the French cancan, we advise you to book quickly as it fills up fast.

The Crazy Horse Cabaret
The style of the Crazy Horse differs from the previous two due to its performances exclusively interpreted by women. The play of shadow and light reveals perfectly shaped silhouettes and offers a magnificent striptease show. The only men allowed on stage are clowns and other performers. The Crazy Horse regularly hosts guest stars such as recently Noémie Lenoir or Dita Von Teese.
The Cabaret of Paradis Latin
Paradis Latin is the oldest of the Parisian cabarets, located in the Latin Quarter. Since 2019, the revue "Oiseau Paradis" has been incredibly staged by Kamel Ouali, and enhanced by former Miss France and Miss Universe Iris Mittenaere. The show is rejuvenated and refreshed, but retains the codes of the traditional cabaret with its rhinestones and sequins, of course.
