Moulin Rouge - Paris France

In this day and age most people hear "Moulin Rouge" and think of the movie that came out years ago. While I have seen the movie I never knew that so many people didn't know it was an actual place in Paris France. Because of this I do feel the need to clarify that the Moulin Rouge has been around for a long time, and is not just a movie (yes I had a few people that argued the fact it was just a movie). In fact is was built in 1889, its the most well known cabaret show in the world as most people have heard of it and/or seen photos at some point in their lives.

The show itself is very suprising. I have to admit when I passed it on the way to Sacre Coeur it didn't look like much and is something that could be easily missed if you aren't looking for it. A few days later when we went to the show I was amazed. I am not big on shows of this nature but this one got an A+ from me. The entire show is great, the most amazing thing to me was the can-can, I had never really seen a performance of the can-can that was as enjoyable as this one. Most people think of this place and think of the show, but don't forget to try their food while you're there, I wasn't expecting it to be that good, as I'm pretty picky, but even I enjoyed the variety of food that they offered. Also please be advised that this is a non smoking place, which personally was just another plus for me.

If you find yourself heading to Paris its a good place to make sure that you see and if you can get a reservation and have time make sure you see the show. They offer dinner and lunch shows however its best to catch the dinner show if you can, but I personally have never seen the lunch show so I don't know what the difference is. Its also a good idea to try and make reservations in advance if you can. If you want to check out what their rates are or make reservations you can do so at the website listed below (makes sure you click on english to switch, so you can read it).
