Fodor's Review:
If you're up for a Vegas-style night out, with troupes of bare-breasted Doriss Girls sporting feather headdresses, this is the place to go. The world-famous cabaret opened in 1889, and aristocrats, professionals, and the working class all came to watch the scandalous performers, such as the dancer La Goulue (the Glutton, so called for her habit of draining leftover glasses). The cancan, by the way -- still a regular sight here -- was considerably raunchier when Toulouse-Lautrec was around (girls used to kick off their knickers while dancing).
- Metro: Blanche.
