Best buy for Moulin Rouge?
Viator appears to have the best price for the show at Moulin Rouge.<BR><BR>For $77 they drive you by "brilliantly illuminated monuments and squares," take you to the show and return you to (or near) your hotel. Their only catch is it might be the 11PM show instead or 9PM, and they give you a cruise if that happens. http://www.shop.viator.com/brochure/product_show.jsp?ID=1010&PRODUCTID=1016&CO DE=2050IMR<BR><BR>Anyone tried them, or have other recomendations?<BR><BR> Keith

Actually Keith - the best deal for the Moulin Rouge is to save the money and not go at all.<BR><BR>It is just so very touristy (and being a tourist, that doesn't usually bother me so much). I HATED it.<BR><BR>If you want a "girly" review go to the Crazy Horse saloon. Very seductive and wonderful dancers -- But it is not a major "must" either.

I haven't tried them but I do think that is a good deal. I've never seen any place that discounted it at all. I wouldn't expect the drive-by to amount to much, but the other price is less than the standard show-only price at the Moulin Rouge, so I don't see how you can go wrong.

OK Keith.<BR><BR>You have two answers from women.<BR><BR>Now from a guy.<BR><BR>I think if you are going to see a bit of French history still being played as opposed to going to see a 'tittilating' experience, I say go for it.<BR><BR>They are still replaying night after night a bit of French history.<BR><BR>How many people go to 'medeival banquets' for the experience, fully knowing they are fake?<BR><BR>The women in the Moulin Rouge have been raising their hands over their heads for a long time................

I have never attended the Moulin Rouge but on my trip to Paris I did attend the Spanish version called, (the entire name escapes me), "Paradiso". It was OK for what it purports to be which is a Vegas type show for the tourists. My wife and I also went to a show at the Crazy Horse Saloon ($160.00 U.S. which included two mandatory drink purchases each). I thought it more tasteful and artistic then the "Paradiso", but at the price charged would consider it a "one time experience". None of these shows are a bargain.
