Moulin Rouge - our last night in Paris!

We did the dinner and show deal and had reasonable expectations of each after reading a few blogs - well they were well and truly exceeded!


We had a drink in a pub nearby to the show first and it started raining while we were there. By the time we walked down to the show it was pouring down with thunder! We had a voucher for the show that I brought online at the end of last year and had been a bit sceptical about using but we were ushered straight out of the rain no problems.

The tables in the show are close together and you get seated with others but it wasn't an issue. Funnily enough we were seated between two Russian couples who didn't know each other - one couple couldn't speak english and the other couple only a bit.

The food was good and served really quickly and the bottle of champagne wasn't bad either. There was live music while we were eating and a few couples got up and danced - including a youngish French couple who looked like they were going to undress each other on the dance floor!

The show started on time and it was action packed from there. The dancing was fantastic, the costumes awesome (feathers literally flying, and lots of boobies for Mal (but tastefully done). The fill in entertainment was great too, although one guy unfortunately picked the wrong asian guy out of the audience to be part of his act and was accused of being racist - he handled it well though and managed to finish his act tactfully.There were huge water snakes and little ponies as part of the show.It really was one of the best shows I have ever seen - a must do if you find yourself in Paris
