What to expect at a Moulin Rouge Paris show?
1/6
Arrive at the red windmill
- Entry & check-in: Head to 82 Boulevard de Clichy, present your ticket, pass through security, and use the cloakroom for accepted items if needed.
- Arrival times: Dinner + show guests can arrive from 6:45pm, 9pm show guests from 8:15pm, and 11:30pm show guests from 10:45pm.
Get seated inside the cabaret
- Seating & tables: Staff will guide you to your table once you're inside. Moulin Rouge prepares its seating plan each day, so you can’t choose your exact seat when booking.
- Upgrade option: Prestige/VIP tickets include privileged seating if seat placement matters to you.
Start with dinner, if you've booked it
- Pre-show dining: Dinner + show guests begin with a 7pm dinner, accompanied by the Moulin Rouge orchestra before Féerie starts at 9pm.
- Your inclusions: The menu and drinks depend on the ticket you select.
- Show-only: If you’ve booked show-only, you’ll arrive closer to your selected performance time and skip the dinner portion.
Watch Féerie take over the stage
- The main performance: Expect dance, elaborate costumes, large-scale staging, and specialty acts across a series of visual tableaux.
- Not the movie: Féerie is Moulin Rouge’s resident cabaret revue, not a stage adaptation of the Moulin Rouge! film.
See the French Cancan
- The signature moment: The French Cancan is one of the show’s defining highlights and the dance most closely tied to Moulin Rouge’s cabaret heritage.
- Production scale: Féerie features around 1,000 costumes, helping give the revue its big, theatrical look.
Wrap up your Paris night
- Duration: Féerie lasts around 1 hour 40 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes.
- Time to allow: Plan roughly 2–2.5 hours overall for show-only or 4–4.5 hours for dinner + show.
- Finish time: Dinner + show wraps up around 11pm. The 11:30pm performance finishes after midnight.
Things to know before booking Moulin Rouge tickets
- Seats aren't selected when you book: Moulin Rouge prepares its seating plan on the day, so your exact seat or table isn't confirmed in advance. If seating is particularly important to you, Prestige/VIP options include privileged seating.
- Show-only or dinner + show: Choose show-only if Féerie is your priority and you'd rather eat elsewhere. Choose dinner + show if you want your meal, drinks, and performance planned as one evening without fitting a separate restaurant reservation around a fixed show time.
- Prestige/VIP is mainly about comfort: Prestige/VIP doesn't give you a different Féerie show. Depending on the ticket, the upgrade adds priority access, privileged seating, upgraded drinks, and other extras. It's the better fit if queues or seating would have a real impact on your evening.
- The late show starts at 11:30pm: The late performance may be labelled the “11PM” show, but its published start time is 11:30pm, with entry from 10:45pm. Factor in the post-midnight finish before choosing this slot.
- Dress code is part of entry: Proper or elegant attire is required. Shorts, sportswear, flip-flops, and running shoes aren't allowed, among other restrictions. Check the complete dress code before your visit so there are no surprises at the door.
- Children can attend from age 6: Children aged 6 and above can attend with an adult. Féerie includes nudity and topless performances, so keep that in mind when deciding whether the experience is right for your family.
