From the Oldest Parisian Cabaret to Cutting-Edge Performances

The venue, Paradis Latin, is the oldest cabaret in Paris, offering a blend of tradition and modernity. The show, choreographed by Kamel Ouali, infuses emotion, humor, and sensuality, creating a surreal atmosphere that captures the spirit of Parisian nightlife.

The main performance, called L’Oiseau Paradis, combines dance, live singing, and innovative technology. It features a surprising and modern take on French Cancan—a traditional dance—reimagined to delight audiences with vibrant costumes and dynamic choreography. The show’s vibrant energy and professional talent earn high praise from visitors, with many describing it as spectacular and engaging.

Gourmet French Cuisine by Guy Savoy

The tour includes a three-course gourmet meal prepared by celebrity chef Guy Savoy. There are two menu options available: the Automn/Winter “Prestige” menu or the “Gustave Eiffel” menu. Both feature exquisite starters, main courses, and desserts.

Starters include choices like smoked salmon with horseradish cream, mushroom velouté, or poultry and veal pâté with pistachios. For main courses, options such as Koulibiac-style salmon, cocotte beef with carrots, or a vegetable medley with organic egg and parmesan are served. Desserts offer delicious options like exotic fruit flavors with a ladyfinger biscuit coated in dark chocolate or a whipped pear ganache.

Drinks are included, with half a bottle of red wine, a quarter bottle of champagne, and mineral water. Some reviews mention that food quality varies, with a few guests suggesting that skipping the meal might be preferable if the focus is solely on the show.

Guests are greeted by actors, dancers, and artists moving through the room, performing during the dining experience. This surreal environment involves musical performances and entertaining acts that add excitement to the evening.

Many reviewers highlight the friendly staff and engaging performers who make the pre-show feel like a festive celebration. The tight seating can be a consideration—tables are close together—making it a bit challenging to move around, but it also fosters a cozy, intimate vibe.

The Show: An Artistic Spectacle

The main show, L’Oiseau Paradis, lasts roughly 1 hour, showcasing a mix of traditional and modern acts. Performers execute high-energy dance routines, beautiful costumes, and stunning set designs. The use of digital effects and state-of-the-art technology adds a cutting-edge feel.

Many describe the performance as vibrant and colorful, with some acts featuring sensual elements and partial nudity, making it not suitable for very young children. Children under 6 are generally not recommended, while those under 12 attend free when accompanied by a paying adult.
