The Best Cabaret Shows in Paris You Should See To Complete Your Parisian Experience

From the Eiffel Tower to the Champs Elysees—need no introduction to many. If you’ve been to Paris, chances are you’ve already visited these world-famous icons. 

But if you want to immerse in Parisian culture a little further and have a helluva good time while you’re at it, then you should watch a cabaret show in Paris. Cabarets are famous amidst the Parisian nightlife thanks to their impeccable blend of music, performance, costumes, and sets. Plus, the audience can casually have dinner with some wine or champagne on the side!

You can’t miss going to these shows in Paris, especially during your night out with friends and family! Take note, however, that to ensure your safety amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, you’re required to bring proof of complete vaccination or a PCR test (this rule applies to all cultural and leisure venues in France). 

It's now time to make the most of your trip to Paris and fall in love with these Paris shows!

Lido de Paris, a show staged directly next to the historic Champs Elysees and stunning showgoers since 1946, is a must-see cabaret show in Paris. Since then, Lido has been producing showstoppers that blend magical entertainment and eye-catching performances. 

Lido is now staging the extraordinaire “Paris Merveilles,” directed by famous theatre director Franco Dragone, the man behind Mystère by Cirque du Solei and Celine Dion’s “A New Day” show in Las Vegas.

Lido masterfully crafted a show with incredible sets, splendid costumes, and talented dancing Doriss Girls from all over the world. Both your eyes and ears will have a feast since you get to sip on champagne while you enjoy a night of Pari’s finest entertainment!

Convinced? It’s time to book your tickets for this jaw-dropping cabaret show in Paris!

There are two available showtimes: 21:00 and 23:00; remember to arrive before 20:30 for the 21:00 show and 22:45 for the 23:00 show. Each show runs for 90 minutes.

It’s also essential to live in the moment, so take note that taking photos and recording videos are strictly prohibited. Dressing for the occasion is also essential, so gentlemen are advised to wear their best tie and jacket and ladies' best formal dress.

You’ve laughed and cried at the musical extravaganza starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor; now it’s time to see the show that inspired it: Moulin Rouge. This world-famous show in Paris is considered an icon of France, so you definitely shouldn’t miss out!
