Montmartre & Northern Paris
Immortalised in Toulouse-Lautrec's posters and later in Baz Luhrmann's film, Paris' legendary cabaret twinkles beneath a 1925 replica of its original red windmill. Yes, it’s packed with bus-tour crowds, but from the opening bars of music to the last high cancan kick, it’s a whirl of fantastical costumes, sets, choreography and Champagne. Book in advance and dress smartly (no trainers/sneakers).
No entry for children under six years.
