It wasn't as entertaining as we thought it would be and it wasn't cheap too. Maybe we're spoiled with the movie versions and Burlesque or I'm spoiled with the quality of shows these days. If you want good seats, go in with the dinner package which puts you in the front or at least in the open area where you... More

We thought that this show was fantastic -- however, we wouldn't see it again. It was pricey (105 Euro Each) and it was crowded. We called to make a reservation, but it didn't matter, as no one there checked -- we just had to say that we did (and make sure you say you made it by phone). We got... More

Its historical roots cannot be underestimated, nor the historical street and quarter it is in. But some things are better to be left for traveler's imagination and never be materialized. Moulin Rouge and Eiffel Tower were such things for me. I was debating whether to go to Moulin Roge show (very expensive), but when I got to see Moulin Rouge... More

We went in the day and am glad as I would not want to go at night. The place was heaving with sex shops and lap dancing bars - not really a family day out thankfully we were all over 18. We din't go to the Moulin Rouge show as the prices were far too high for us. Again the... More

We had a lovely time here in this wonderful old quaint theatre. We went to the 2300hrs showing, which was great as it meant we had all day sightseeing in Paris. The show was amazing with beautiful dancers and costumes. You have to go here whilst in Paris just once..... Book tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. Lovely atmosphere and... More

We went to Moulin Rouge because it was on our list, We have ticked it off and wont return. It was an entertaining evening with good costumes but I think there are better things to do in Paris for the money. We were originally put on a table of 8 or 10 at the back and because it was flat... More

The Moulin Rouge was a good night in Paris.The meal was fine and we had good seats and good view of the show.The dancing and entertainment was enjoyable,if a little difficult to follow at times. I am not a dance expert and took the show at face value as a night out. However others in our party were more experienced... More

During a romantic weekend in Paris, we had the opportunity to go to the Moulin Rouge for meal and entertainment. After battling through the queue to get in, we were directed to our table right in frint of the stage. Due to the layout of the tables, this meant that my partner had his back to the stage. We were... More

This was the biggest waste of time and a lot of money!!! Dancing was terrible, they were not singing - it was completely C grade. Children's dance concerts are better than this!!! It was a must do in Paris but I would urge people to save the time and money - there is nothing to see here!!! More
