The 48 Best Things to Do in Paris

"Classic cabaret meets avant-garde performance art at Crazy Horse, a contemporary burlesque show tucked inside a former wine cellar just steps away from the Champs-Elysées. Created in 1951 by artist Alain Bernardin, the tantalizing show has evolved throughout the decades, pulling inspiration from pop art, fashion, and current events. Celebrities including Dita von Teese, Pamela Anderson, K-Pop icon Lisa have graced its stage as guest stars, while fashion designer Christian Louboutin has directed a few of its meticulously crafted acts. Striking visual effects illuminate the dancers, making the show feel more artistic than salacious. And the intimate venue, dressed up with velvet carpet, plush couches, and cozy tables topped with bottles of Champagne, helps create a sophisticated atmosphere." - Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Julia Eskins
