Drag Performers Redefine Paris’s Historic Cabaret Scene | Eater

"One of Paris’s oldest cabarets perched in Pigalle’s neon-lit hills, this historic venue blends heritage and contemporary drag: performers like PowerBeauTom belt out pop anthems (sometimes in French) backed by lively pianists, eliciting sing-alongs and rapt audiences; the club also serves as a refuge with a backstage culture that includes vendors making piping-hot crepes, and it has become notable for integrating drag kings into its roster and for its deep ties to the city’s midcentury trans-cabaret history." - Caitlin Gunther

"Divan du Monde, 18Th Arrondissement Nord by CL Design. Divan du monde'is a place full of history: bal musette, then a favorite brasserie of Baudelaire and Jules Vallès, café-concert, bar frequented by Picasso and other artists, it's a lively placewho now welcomes concerts of all the musical genres and distinguishes itself by its vast and adapted programming. Located in the district of Pigalle, emblematic place of Paris night owls and tourists in a thirst for festivity, 'Divan du monde' is the perfect place for dancing, drinking a cocktail or listening to music!"

The show was AMAZING! Before going, I saw many reviews saying it’s difficult to watch if you don’t speak French. I think that anyone who can’t appreciate the artistry due to the language barrier is absurd. The entire show was pure joy and we were in awe of the sheer talent on stage. It’s a must-see and a true local experience!

Twas a nice experience watching a show here. I speak and understand french so I kinda enjoyed the whole show but I had with me someone who could barely understand the language so I had to translate from time to time. For visitors in Paris, you might need to consider this aspect before booking for a show or check the schedule which is changing too. You could also enjoy the dance floor after though it was also all french songs and hits which was still danceable even if you don’t know what the songs is all about. Choice of drinks/cocktails was not varied so be prepared for that. Check the menu on this site.

The shows are out of this world !!! However the place is not designed to be a theatre. We already know that we are standing up during the show and we arrived one hour in advance to reserve a good spot. Before 10minutes from the start a man working there told us we have to move because this section is reserved. So we lost our spots and by then all good spots were taken. It is unprofessional, neither for us who came one hour ahead of time nor for those who reserved the section. Anyway I would love to watch their shows but not at this place. Plus, like everything in this life if you are rich you are warmly welcomed.

We didn't know, what it was gonna be, and it was wonderful. The show was emotional, waives of drama and comedy worked perfectly. Audience clapping and singing together with the artists what makes atmosphere more close and casual. I was impressed and recommend for a night in Paris.

What a fun evening. Stayed for the Abba cabaret on Easter Sunday with friends whilst we were visiting Paris. Doors opened at 745, show was from 9-10 with a DJ playing music until 1am. What a ball, a laugh, great live show and DJ once the show had finished. A relatively small theatre (standing room only) means that you can get a good view from anywhere. I was right at the back and could see from around the waist up of the performers on stage. I would say upstairs is the best view, but you would have to be at the front of the queue to get in. Drink prices weren't too bad, very much similar to bar prices in Paris over all.

LOVED the cabaret. Neither of us speak french but we really appreciated the art, the music, the performance. Staff were super nice, other customers were also very nice - overall a super enjoyable evening and I would absolutely go again.

Unique and amazing experience in Paris. I didn’t have any expectations because I didn’t know what to expect but it was wonderful! Talented singers and great performance. Food was also pleasant. Safe and welcoming atmosphere

I absolutely loved my night at Madame Arthur. Bought two seated tix for me and my bf for show/dinner/champagne and they were 100% worthwhile. I don't speak a word of French, and everyone from the people at the front door to our server made us feel totally welcome. The show was stellar, and while I missed all of the spoken banter/jokes, lots of it was visual, and the singing and performances were sooooo good...so much talent on that stage. If I lived in Paris I'd go every weekend. For now I'll just have to look forward to my next trip there, but I have to say, this was the highlight of my visit, and I loved every minute of it. Thank you, Madame Arthur!
