Paris, luxury boutique hotel Buci, Latin Quarter

The best known include the inescapable Moulin Rouge, located in Pigalle near Montmartre and the Terrass Hotel.

 

On 6 October 1889, at the foot of the Butte Montmartre, the ambiance was festive: the opening of a new Music Hall in the Jardin de Paris did not go unnoticed – the Moulin Rouge was born. Next to Place Blanche, the public came in droves to discover this extravagant hotspot: a huge dance floor, mirrors everywhere, a gallery where it was chic to mix with the riffraff, a garden with an enormous elephant and donkey rides to amuse the ladies. A wild atmosphere where the show was both on the stage and in the room: aristocrats and rough types mixed together in joyful complicity, crews from the posh neighbourhoods and the little people of Paris had fun together in total euphoria.

The masters of the premises were Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler. They called their establishment “Le Premier Palais des Femmes” (The First Palace of Women) and bet on their success, proclaiming to anyone who would listen that the Moulin Rouge would become the most grandiose temple of music and dance in the world. From the opening day, their dreams came true. The other Music Halls had better watch out!!!

 

“Féerie”, the current revue, consist of a company of 100 artists, including the 60 Doriss Girls recruited worldwide, 1,000 costumes with feathers, rhinestones and sequins made in the most famous Parisian workshops, sumptuous sets with shimmering colours and unique designs by Italian artists, the best international attractions with exceptional acts and the long-awaited return of the Giant Aquarium, etc.

 

 

The Lido has been on the Champs Elysées since 1946.

“Bonheur”: the title of the revue at the Lido, the famous cabaret on the Champs Elysées, says it all: “Happiness”. From scene to scene, you will follow the journey of a woman seeking happiness with soft or rousing music, lighting and special effects, and the Bluebell Girls lighting up the stage with their sumptuous costumes and sensual choreographies designed by Pierre Rambert. You can just take in the show or come for our Dinner Revue, in any case the 26^th Lido revue promises you a few hours of…“Bonheur”!
