Moulin Rouge Book Pdf

[Keri Gamrath]

Thereare generally 3 options when it comes to Moulin Rouge tickets. You can either combine it with a dinner or a dinner and cruise. All Moulin Rouge tickets come with champagne by default. The VIP tickets allow you to skip the line as well as give you access to the best seats in the hall.

Moulin Rouge, Paris runs 2 shows every day of the year at 9 PM and 11 PM (I am not sure about holidays). For those wanting to have dinner, there is an option of having dinner at 7 PM followed by the 9 PM show. The Moulin Rouge show length is approximately 105-110 minutes.

I did not choose the dinner option since there were no vegetarian options to choose from but now they do have an option of choosing a vegetarian meal. You have to pay a minimum of 135 Euros for a single ticket.

Since I was on a 6-week trip around Europe, I had only flip-flops and sports shoes. So, I actually went shoe-shopping in Paris and ended up buying a gorgeous pair of heels (my only splurge shopping throughout the entire trip). I ended up wearing an evening wear gown, which I had carried with me. They do have a cloakroom for storing your coats.

It is recommended that you arrive at least half an hour in advance. Most shows are fully booked and it does take the staff some time to seat everyone. You can either carry a paper ticket or you can show the tickets on your smartphone.

It is a huge seating area and the entire hall is classily done with red shades and it is eloquently gorgeous. Each and every guest is individually seated. I had a normal ticket and I was placed right next to the stage in the front. You are prohibited from taking any pictures and please adhere to this rule.

The shows always start on time and as I sat there waiting to be transported to another land, the show started. It started innocently enough with lots of dancers entering the stage all dressed up. You have to see it to believe it. All the costumes are gorgeous and colorful with exquisite sequined designs and fascinating headgears.

But then as the act progressed, I suddenly sat there shocked out of my wits. I can only blame myself but I did not know till I actually saw the frontal female nudity that this show was adult-themed. Yes, you can expect to see a lot of boobs (Oops, did I actually use the word on my travel blog? Please grow up if you felt offended by it.) There is a lot of dancing and a fair number of boobs too. So do expect some Moulin Rouge nudity if you are ever there.

Mind you, not all Moulin Rouge dancers are nude. In the group of maybe 60 girls, around 15 of them are nude while the rest of them are covered. After I recovered from my initial shock, it was actually lots of fun. There was nothing trashy about the whole show and it was as classy as it can be. There is some superb dancing and to top it for us girls, there is some eye candy in the form of gorgeous male dancers. The passion that goes into each show is evident from the smiles of each and every one of those dancers. In spite of doing some hard numbers, all of them do it with a captivating smile.

Costumes are out of this world and each of them appears to be carefully crafted with elaborate headgears and lots of sequins. The acts are all entertaining even though I could not understand a word of what they were singing. Everything is in French but in spite of that, I sat absolutely enthralled with everything going on in the show.

In addition to the dancers, you can also find some cute miniature horses and clowns during the Circus act. In one act, you can see a lady swimming with Boa Constrictors and I was ready to sprint out when I saw the snakes so close to me. All the acts in between are also exceptional and special mention needs to be given to the couple dancing in roller skates. The energy through the Can Can dance is quite inspiring too.

It is located on Boulevard de Clichy, at Place Blanche, the intersection of, and terminus of Rue Blanche. The district is Pigalle while the area is Montmartre and is in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Full address is 82 Bd de Clichy, 75018 Paris, France.

As mentioned before, you have an option to book your tickets along with a dinner option. I did not choose to have dinner at Moulin Rouge since I did not find any good vegetarian options. However, from the reviews I have heard about dinner there, some people call it exceptional while some people cite it as just average.

You are taken to your assigned seat just before the show. You do not have an option of selecting your seats before the show. So depending on your luck, if you go for normal tickets, you can end up with a place anywhere. Since I was solo, I got a pretty decent seat in the front of the hall. Also, it is advised to go early to ensure you are in the front of the line so that you can get good tickets.

Firstly you are in one of the most expensive cities in the world, Paris and most attractions are comparatively more expensive. Additionally Moulin Rouge is sold out on most days. So it is basic supply and demand scenario. Since the demand is high and the tickets are limited every night, there is an expensive price tag attached to it.

As a vegetarian, there were not many options and that is the reason I did not choose the dinner option. It is definitely worth it for people who eat meat from what I have heard from my travel blogger friends.

The first show gets over at 11 PM. There is a taxi stand just opposite and you have to wait in a queue to get a cab. If you can leave a little early to beat the crowd, then please do. I was staying close by and this taxi ride cost me around 12 Euros.

The Moulin Rouge is in the Pigalle district and in the hip artisty area of Montmartre. Since Paris has many other attractions like the Louvre, Eiffel Area etc, it really depends on what your priority is when it comes to accommodation and area. But listing some of the hotels that I had stayed at as well as researched for my multiple trips to Paris.

So that is it, my scandalous summary of my time at the Moulin Rouge, Paris. If you want to catch a trailer of the show, you can check it out here. I would definitely love to watch Moulin Rouge all over again.

Booking , Agoda and Hotels are my go to resources for booking hotel accommodation and I use Airbnb for booking my homestays. I also compare prices on Tripadvisor always. Another one I always use is Expedia.

I beg to differ. You can check online and find out more. In the trailer, they are only showing the ones with the leotards. And like I have mentioned, most of the girls are not topless, just a few during every act. Have you ever been to a Moulin rouge show?

What looks off the stage is not true on the stage. Surely this is the best show but unlike Crazy Horse it not put under the ADULT show and even kids are allowed because of hardly any nudity in it. I have watched the most of them, few in Paris and others in America (They do in Vegas/Chicago/NYC too). After all you learn a lot after travelling to 4 continents.

Intelligent spirits have always encountered oppositions from mediocre minds!!!! Your are free to delete the entire comment and paint false pictures, not many can know. I have enough followers to listen and make best out of their travel. I would appreciate to know when you can write about something which is surprising true enough and not known. Shows are for tourist all over the world and European love their children as much.

I never knew either what was inside, I have seen the outside of the building. The way you describe it, it sounds like a scene from Rush Hour 3 where Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan became part of the show. Being a single male, French women and boobs sound perfect!

Oooooh sounds like a very scandalous show, I never went to find out what goes behind Moulin Rouge but you painted quite a vivid picture! Never would have guessed what performances would have came from behind the grand curtains ya!

Moulin Rouge is a big part of Paris culture and an iconic landmark. You have recounted your experiences really candidly and it is a great help for people who are in two minds about going to the show. I am sure that the act was class and never stooped to vulgarity. I can see it was quite a grand spectacle.

Am not a culture person you can say as I have never been any shows of these kinds. Moulin Rouge sounds interesting and a different experience altogether. Your post has given me a new perspective of Paris which will remain etched in my mind. Thanks for sharing this great experience with us I will definitely take care not to take along my MIL ?

What a wonderful experience. When I went to Paris I thought about attending a show, but I had a controlled budget and the tickets are quite expensive. But I really enjoyed reading your post and getting a good idea of how to watch a show at the Moulin Rouge. Who knows one day I go there again. ?

This sounds fun. I wanna experience moulin rouge myself some day. I completely agree with your point we Indians really think and need to decide what has to be seen with parents and adults. Rest it is ones decision. This is just a culture difference.

to be very honest, I am yet to visit Paris. And when I do, I will definitely visit Moulin Rouge. But, your article did the rest, seriously. Loved reading, and it was indeed a whole of a virtual visit. Thanks

I have previously written about movies showing at Towngate. I would classify myself as a movie lover. And I was incredibly excited when I heard that Towngate was showing the musical Moulin Rouge on its big screen.

Moulin Rouge is one of those movies that hit me at the right time in my life. When it was released, I was fresh out of college and hanging out with my friends, with little care in the world. And along came this film which summed up what was most important to me in my life at the time: art, music, celebration, beauty and love.
