Fun and entertainment Ile-De-France

The cabaret, perhaps the most famous in the world, is photographed every day by thousands of people, who pose in front of the famous windmill overlooking the district: if the Moulin Rouge is a symbol, it's revues, an absolutely breathtaking show that you must attend at least once in your life. You can of course attend a show with or without a meal, in the morning. The show, dubbed "Féérie", is as impressive as it is finely tuned, a veritable firework display of prowess by the 60 Doriss Girls.

It is in the very chic neighborhood of rue François-I^er and rue Marbeuf that you will find Le Doobie's, a restaurant lounge that attracts customers from 8th and 16th arrondissements. On the menu, inspired by Italian and French cuisine, you'll find classic dishes revisited with a modern touch. The place is transformed into dancing bar after the dinner, in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.

République is the meeting point for many Parisians, since it is quite "central". The difficult thing is to find a bar large enough to receive bands of friends in a neighborhood often crowded. Le Toucan, with its great capacity, works extremely well! The happy hour is very generous for a bar in the capital and you eat quite well there (croque-monsieur, pasta and salads are offered on the menu). A good address for reunions between friends.

An old corner bar with unpromising decor near the canal: at first glance, that is what this institution of quai de Jemmapes looks like. But once you sit down at the table, you quickly forget the pine cone hanging from the ceiling and the statuettes of bucolic nymphs scattered throughout the bar. This is the kingdom of Adel, who run his small café with good humour and sympathy, a tradition that is lost in the other neighbourhood bars. If we come here, it is not so much for the contents of the glass or the plate (some Syrian specialities are proposed), but for the people with whom we taste them. Here, you will find a few merry regulars, some quite drunk students and idle artists. Every evening or almost, musicians give small concerts, without any fuss. The prices are reasonable, the evenings are always pleasant, especially in summer when the terrace is full of customers enjoying the beautiful days… and beautiful nights!

Les Piaules, known for being a youth hostel, is also a bar-restaurant. With its large wooden tables, its fireplace and its high bar stools, it is suitable for young people but also for travellers.

On the map, lemonade and grilled beer, but also urchin and nibble pâté. Prices are really attractive, in accordance with youth hostels policy. Practical side: instead of having four legs at home, sleeping in one of the Shipped shipped.

A fan of the 70 s and the films of Godard, Truffaut and co, welcome to the Grand Action, the establishment that loves the classics. Founded in 1970, this film belonged to the Action network, which proposed a policy of classic film reproductions in new copies in four cinemas (Action Schools, Studio des Grands-Augustins, Action Christine and Grand Action). Since then, two halls have broadcast exclusive American and classic films. The largest room, Henri Langlois (dedicated to the founder of the French Cinémathèque), is absolutely magnificent, with a screen of 10 metres and 223 seats arranged in a drawer. The 3 D has its place in this cinema temple dedicated to great thrills and great moments of action.

Located in the quiet street of Vandamme, you will find a stylish, cosy and fresh bar where you can have a cocktail or even dinner.

Finally, do not hesitate to visit its website for the evening's programme that start around 8 to 9 p.m. or call because the hall is sometimes privatized on Saturday. If you want to celebrate a birthday, then Kriza Bar will be a good idea.

As the Theatre of the City, of which it is the second room since 1996, the Theatre des Abbesses offers a high quality programme. Although eclectic, he is very rich in plays.

Part of the interior and courtyard is artist Daniel Buren, the rayures man.

Since 1899, Fouquet's Paris is a place for history and tradition, emblematic of the Parisian life. The pleasure here is drinking a cup of coffee or a drink in good company in a top chic place.

Today, the greatest politicians and showbiz come to Le Fouquet's to talk over a meal or a drink. One does not change such an institution...

Actress Silvia Monfort had long and ardently wanted this theatre, which is located on the edge of Georges-Brassens Park, but unfortunately she died before it opened in 1992. This municipal hall with 460 seats was finally entrusted to Régis Santon.

The great variety of types of shows and the desire to promote emerging companies remain the strong points of this place rich in proposals and talents.

Red velvet, drapes, golden frames and old chandeliers: this place created at the bottom of a court in 1993 is decorated in a baroque way. It's mainly used for private events, but we regularly serve a rich auditorium of comics, including Wednesday evening for Les Oscars du Laughter.

Once under the tent now planted near Porte Maillot, let yourself be rocked by the magic created by the founder of this family circus, Alexandre Romanès. Here you will attend an extraordinary show, which pays tribute to the founders of the fairground art, the Gypsies. It is also the last circus of its kind to be found in Europe. You will not see tigers in cages, nor clowns, but acrobats, dancers, a learned dog who is not that knowledgeable... A family and good-natured atmosphere, to such an extent that when one of the young artists from the community fails, the whole audience applauds to encourage him. The orchestra, composed of several guitars, violins and brass, takes up great gypsy themes in a good mood. At the end of the show, Alexandre Romanès delivers some gypsy wisdom. One of our favourite proverbs: "A man is much more ferocious than a tiger. A tiger, you give him fifteen kilos of meat and he's full, a man, you cover him with gold and he wants more! »

Here's one of these bistros, called bars-bars, which have a great success in the east of Paris, with their flea way, their excessifs rates and their casual animation. Or how simplicity can finally be combined with success and quality. Young and younger people talk easily and not talk about ways of doing things. In the afternoon, many people come to work, and the atmosphere will sometimes be studious. At the end of the day, the atmosphere relaxes and we share a good breakfast board without taking your head. Côté music is often jazz and French songs. DJ sets are also on the program.

Acrobats, clowns, numbers with cats, elephants, tigers, horses… The circus founded by the late Arlette Gruss ensures in the great tradition! A cousin of Alexis Gruss, who led a circus of the same name, it carried out numerous acrobatics to the rope and the trapeze, but became known through a dompteuse number of panthers. She decided to create her own circus in 1985. Despite the difficult beginnings in Ireland, Cirque de France became a reference from 1988 with the panthers of Arlette Gruss, the husband of Arlette Gruss. Five years later, the eponymous circus appears on the small screen for the delight of both small and large. However, everyone can take advantage of his passages in Paris to discover this magical and traditional circus. Today, and despite the disappearance in January 2006 of Arlette Gruss, the circus, taken up by his son Gilbert Mummolo, is always dreaming and has the means of his ambitions: 26 tours, 350 performances per year, 120 employed.

Barely 100 years old and already this theatre has a rich and abundant history! From 1913, it was a real little bomb. First of all, its appearance: nothing traditional, Art Nouveau inside, outside, everywhere. Concrete structure and Art Nouveau architecture are the result of a meeting between Auguste Perret, architect, magnate and concrete theorist, and Henry Van de Velde, innovative architect. Antoine Bourdelle is the author of the travertine facade. Then, the Nabis are exhibited inside: Maurice Denis, Ker-Xavier Roussel, Jacqueline Marval and Edouard Vuillard made interior design an avant-garde piece of early 20th century art. It was inaugurated in April 1913 with Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas and Vincent d'Indy. But it was in May that he caused a scandal by presenting Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps. Since then, the theatre has remained faithful to its avant-garde personality in the creative field of dance. Since then, the theatre has offered a wide programme of events throughout the year in its three rooms, where the decoration, which has remained intact, is in itself a show.
