Magical Paris Can Can and Will Will Delight | France

Paris …

The name itself suggests an indulgent escape from reality. No place on earth is more romantic than Paris. One of the things that spring to mind is the sultry intrigue of this alluring city and the way it weaves its magic. The Moulin Rouge conjures up pictures of high-kicking girls dancing to the Galop from Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld, as depicted on the famous posters by Toulouse Lautrec. Not much has changed, the girls have got more glamorous, the routines more breath-taking and complex, but the exhilaration and the Ooh la la naughtiness of the leggy glamorous ladies in fantastic costume can-canning their way through the night is still the same.

Paris by Night

Paris has got a sparkling magical quality at night. There is nothing more exhilarating than taking an evening tour around Paris and recognising all the landmarks so etched in our consciousness. Covered in a blanket of night and sparkling so dazzlingly, Paris is a priceless gem.  Dress up in Paris style chic to feel part of it and experience the magic. The evening starts off with the Paris Illuminations tour. You will see Paris all lit up, driving along the Boulevards in an air-conditioned coach, taking in lots of illuminated attractions like the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Champs Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de la Concorde. The Eiffel Tower is mesmerising and spellbinding in its splendid coat of many dazzling lights and colours. You will also see the Paris Opera in all its charismatic splendour. There is a recorded audio commentary in 11 languages to enlighten you with all the fascinating details.

The Féerie Show

The tour ends up in the Montmartre area, at the famous Moulin Rouge show with its breath-taking exterior. The opportunity to watch the Féerie Show and take in the dazzling Paris nightlife will enchant and delight. It is like being on a movie set. The show itself is enthralling with its gorgeous dancers in their exotic costumes putting on a glitzy cabaret. Forget Las Vegas, with its copy-cat ways. This is the real deal. Every other show is just an imitation. The Moulin Rouge has put on spectacular shows since 1889. The place is steeped in tradition. Sip a glass of champagne while you watch the fascinating show with countless routines with fantastic costume changes, from girls (and boys) doing the splits, miniature ponies, to dancers wrestling snakes in a big water tank. You will be thoroughly entertained for two hours and after the show you will be taken back to the vicinity of your hotel, still tingling with the excitement of having watched the world’s top cabaret show.

Package

This package is made even more attractive by the fact that you will get the tour and the show for the price of a normal Moulin Rouge ticket alone.  This special evening will be not soon forgotten, its magic will stay with you for a long time. It is not called the city of romance for nothing.
