Moulin Rouge or Lido
 
Need advice on the above 2 cabarets. Are they worth going ? Which is the better one or are they different in their own way that I need to go both. My wife likes all this shows. Please advice.<BR>Thanks

Actually neither - <BR><BR>But if you want to see a Parisian "girlie show" cabaret, the Crazy Horse Saloon is probably the best. pricey though.

Janis is right. The Crazy Horse Saloon is it.<BR>Definitely.

I think the Lido of those two. I was watching a French movie the other night, Venus Beauty Institute, and the very French owner was going to the Lido one night. I don't think French people will say, hey, let's go to the Moulin Rouge for fun (ok, I'm speculating, I just think that's really just for tourists). From what I've read, the Lido is just classier in a certain way (in a much better part of town, also) and more slick, las-vegasy (lasers, etc.), so I think it is just a more advanced level of production, more modern. The Crazy Horse is more sexual.

Some posters recommended the Crazy Horse. Yup, it is really a show. Erotic and sensual in a cozy theater where you are only a few feet from the stage. The Lido, on the other hand, is much like the Las Vegas shows with really big stage productions. In each, your admission includes a bottle of champagne per couple as I recall; check at the door. Dinner at the Lido is not their star attraction.<BR>John <BR>www.enjoy-europe.com/cds/france.htm
