But that is not all Paris is about, it is also about the nightlife, the good clubs and, of course, the cabarets, which also take part in the Christmas atmosphere by offering some specials.But what are the cabarets after all? Cabarets are a form of entertainment that mixes comedy with musical, dance and theater. This takes place, in general, in restaurants or nightclubs, with a person acting as the master of ceremonies. In some cases, this kind of entertainment is combined with that of Mediterranean style brothels, where women entertain the clients. The two most famous cabarets in Paris are the Moulin Rouge and the Lido. Let’s see what they have to offer for Christmas in Paris:
Lido de Paris: Christmas dinner and show
The legendary Lido de Paris is located in the well-known Avenue des Champs Élysées and famous for its “revues”. The “revue” is a popular theater entertainment that consists in multiple acts combining music, sketches and dance. Opened in 1946, the Lido adopted this genre, original from the 19th century American melodrama and popular entertainment. From then on, “the world’s most famous cabaret” –as described in the Lido’s official website- constantly plays different revues to entertain its crowded public.
Currently, those who take a trip to Paris can see the popular “Bonheur” revue on stage. The word “Bonheur” is French for happiness, as the story is about a woman’s quest for happiness. The 90 minutes long revue recounts the story of this woman in four parts or “tableaux”, together with very nice and elaborate costumes, fascinating detailed settings, magical lighting, captivating music, lots of special effects and special acts, which make for a night of pure happiness.
Designed by Pierre Rambert, Artistic Director of the Lido, this new revue establishes a good balance between the respect for the grand tradition of legendary Lido shows and a new, surprising, contemporary vision. Bonheur is led by the Lido Boy Dancers and the Bluebell Girls.
So if you are doing tourism in Paris this December and want to find a good place where to spend Christmas Eve, you may be interested in the Christmas dinner and show offered by the glamorous Le Lido de Paris, right on the beautiful Paris’s Champs Élysées.
