Rex Club Paris

Grands Boulevards

Rex Club is Paris's most respected techno and house club — a 600-capacity Grands Boulevards venue in a former 1930s cinema that has been presenting the finest electronic music in France since 1991, hosting early sets by Daft Punk, Laurent Garnier (the club's longtime resident), and virtually every significant European DJ. The Rex's extraordinary custom sound system by Martin Audio, legendary residencies, and commitment to underground programming have made it the most important electronic music venue in France and one of the defining clubs in European dance culture.

Moulin Rouge Paris

Montmartre

Moulin Rouge is the world's most famous cabaret — a Montmartre institution open since 1889 that invented the can-can dance, inspired Toulouse-Lautrec's most celebrated paintings, and gave the world an enduring image of Parisian entertainment. The 1,000-seat cabaret presents its Féerie show nightly with 60 Doriss Girls dancers, elaborate costumes, acrobats, and a champagne dinner service that represents the pinnacle of French theatrical spectacle and remains one of the most sought-after entertainment experiences in the world.

Palais Omnisports de Bercy / Accor Arena

Bercy

Accor Arena (formerly Palais Omnisports de Bercy) is Paris's premier indoor entertainment venue — a 20,300-capacity arena with a distinctive grass-covered pyramidal roof overlooking the Seine that has hosted some of the most celebrated concerts in French entertainment history. Michael Jackson, Madonna, and every major touring artist have performed here; as the primary arena for Europe's most visited city and the host of 2024 Olympic Games events, Accor Arena is the centerpiece of Paris's extraordinary live entertainment offering.

Olympia Paris

Opéra / Grands Boulevards

L'Olympia is France's most legendary concert hall — a 1,996-seat Grand Boulevard institution that launched the careers of Édith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, and the Beatles (who played their first Paris concert here in 1964). Still operating as an active concert venue presenting both French stars and international touring artists, L'Olympia carries 150 years of French popular music history in a building that has witnessed more defining moments in Chanson and pop culture than any other venue in Europe.

La Cigale Paris

Montmartre / Pigalle

La Cigale is Paris's most elegant mid-size concert venue — a magnificent 2,000-capacity 1887 Belle Époque theater on the Montmartre boulevard designed by Garnier (architect of the Opéra Garnier) that hosts rock, pop, and world music concerts in one of the most beautiful theatrical interiors in France. Located steps from the Moulin Rouge and the Sacré-Cœur, La Cigale sits at the heart of Montmartre's entertainment heritage and presents both French and international artists in a setting of extraordinary historical and artistic significance.

Folies Bergère Paris

Grands Boulevards / 9th arrondissement

Folies Bergère is one of Paris's most historic entertainment venues — a 1,669-seat 1869 music hall that invented the French revue format and staged the careers of Josephine Baker, Maurice Chevalier, and Charlie Chaplin. Today operating as a concert venue and theater while preserving its extraordinary Belle Époque interior, Folies Bergère connects contemporary Parisian entertainment to the golden age of French cabaret and variety theater that made Paris the entertainment capital of the Belle Époque world.

Crazy Horse Paris

Alma-Marceau / 8th arrondissement

Crazy Horse is Paris's most artistically ambitious cabaret — a 250-capacity venue near the Champs-Élysées presenting a nude dance show of extraordinary artistic precision, where the human body is treated as a light projection canvas in productions that have been called the most sophisticated erotic art in the world. Founded in 1951 and having collaborated with Dita Von Teese and Arielle Dombasle, Crazy Horse occupies a unique position between fine art performance and traditional French cabaret.
