Insiders Guide to
Paris Nightlife

Enjoy an evening out in the city
that practically invented nightlife!

When you think about Paris nightlife places like Moulin Rouge immediately come to mind.

The idea of spectacular music halls exploded in the Belle Epoque, when Paris nightlife really got underway.

Quite a few of those places still exist today, although they've been greatly upgraded over the years.

Then there are recent venues (that is, less that 70 years old!) in the glamorous 8th Arrondissement, like Crazy Horse on Avenue George V and the Lido on Champs-Elysées, which have expanded the Paris nightlife choices.

You're in Paris — live a little and find out what the hoopla is all about!

Moulin Rouge Paris

The Moulin Rouge opened its doors in 1889, the same year the Eiffel Tower was built.

Along with the Tower, it's still one of the hottest tickets in Paris.

Famous as the place where the Cancan was created, Moulin Rouge also achieved notoriety through the art of Parisian artist Toulouse-Lautrec, whose posters of the nightclub helped to spread its reputation.

Moulin Rouge is one of those places that everyone has to experience at least once in their lives.

Crazy Horse Paris

Compared to Moulin Rouge, Crazy Horse is a relative newcomer to the city's nightlife scene, opening in 1951.

From the beginning, this club was something different, combining burlesque with magic, dancing, and complicated choreography. And Crazy Horse continues to integrate new acts, news ideas, and the latest trends in art and fashion.

Lido Paris

Located on the most famous street in the world, Champs-Elysées, the Lido strives to out-spectacle them all!

There's been a cabaret here since the Belle Epoque, and sixty-plus years after its re-creation as Lido Paris, it remains one of the most popular cabarets in the City of Nightlife. And the shows are indeed spectacular.

Paradis Latin

Paradis Latin Paris Insiders Code: PI-2022

Paradis Latin might be called the oldest cabaret in Paris because it is still staged in the theater built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889, the same year he finished the Eiffel Tower.

The building is impressive and evocative of another era, and the new show at Paradis Latin, Paradis d'Amour is equally wonderful. Our Cabaret Concierge has put together a few outstanding activity packages for the Paradis Latin Cabaret. We recommend the Cabaret Show with Champagne, followed by a one-hour, chauffeur-driven night tour of the city.

Music at the Oldest Jazz Club in Paris

Paris Insiders Code: PI-2024

Paris Nightlife. We love this one.

How about being picked up by your driver in a classic, clear top, vintage 2CV, spending an hour on an nighttime lights tour, and then heading to the oldest jazz club in Paris?

Since 1946 some of the great names in jazz have performed at this Saint-Germain-des-Pres club, and the atmosphere will remind you of the Cotton Club and the Savoy in their glory days.

Our Cabaret Concierge has some great ideas to make the evening even better. How about dinner before jazz at a traditional French bistro in the heart of the Latin Quarter? Take a look at the options and then put together your personalized evening.
