Au Lapin Agile
Moulin Rouge As
old as the Eiffel Tower (1889) and as much a part of the Parisian
image, today’s troupe of 60 Doriss Girls are the modern versions of Jane
Avril and La Goulue (see Moulin Rouge).
Moulin Rouge
Autour de Midi et Minuit Tuck into delicious bistro food before heading into the small vaulted cellar for a jazz concert. 11 rue Lepic, 75018 Closed Mon, end Feb, Aug
Chez Madame Arthur The entertainment at this club is provided by drag artists and transsexuals – you won’t need much French to understand. La Nouvelle Eve One of the lesser-known cabaret venues. Its intimate nature does not undermine the professionalism of the shows. Hammam Club This North African-style restaurant turns into a late-night club with DJ and a dance floor. Cabaret Michou Outrageous
drag artists and a legendary compère whose behaviour can never be
predicted, this is close to the original spirit of Montmartre cabaret. Folies Pigalle This former strip club is now a leading dance venue and popular among the gay community. La Loco Next to the Moulin Rouge, this vast venue couldn’t be more different, attracting young clubbers who want to dance all night.
Le Divan du Monde World music is played here, live and DJ, with regular dance events and concerts too.
