Moulin Rouge
I loved the movie and got the dvd for Christmas. I'd love to go see the show in person. But will I feel out of place as a solo traveler? What is the cost of the show? Does anyone know how I'd go about making reservations? Thanks from a 1st time Paris visitor!

Cassandra: You can find all details at<BR>www.moulinrouge.fr<BR>Show at 9 pm is 89 euros<BR>Show at 11 pm is 79 euros<BR>If you go solo, book at seat at the bar, that's even cheaper, I think 59 euros. Not sure how comfortable you will feel being solo, though. Depends really on you.<BR>I think you can make reservations online.<BR>Have fun.

Cassandra -<BR><BR>I too have made many trips solo and found it uncomfortable at times. However, if you really want to see the show you should go instead of spending your time wishing you had gone. You will only remember the show as you think back on it, not how uncomfortable you may have felt at the time. Enjoy - it will be fun.

Denise, couples certainly attend, as do entire tour groups. It's more of a Las Vegas-style review, not a down & dirty strip show (that's close by for those who are looking for it). <BR><BR>As to the neighborhood, it's at one end of a 2-3 block stretch of strip joints & sex shops. The far end of this strip is Pigalle, which is more seedy than Place Blance from what I saw. If you get off at the Place Blanche metro stop, the Moulin Rouge is right there so you really don't have to wander past all the strip joints. If you head up the hill on Rue Lepic, the Montmarte neighborhood is charming. <BR><BR>As for feeling uncomfortable, it depends on you. Have you been to Broadway near Columbus in SF? Time Square in NY? These places are also a bit seedy but tourists flock there all the time.
