Cabaret is widely considered to have originated in Paris in the 1880s. At first, it was a set of acts brought together by a master of ceremonies — skits, songs, poetry readings and such. But it slowly took the shape of the cabaret we are familiar with, especially with the cancan dance, around 1889, in Moulin Rouge, the concert hall which became iconic in the world of cabaret. With its rich cultural lineage, it is easy to understand why Paris cabaret is as world-renowned as it is. Paris cabaret is a heady mix of music, dance and comedy, with an electric atmosphere and immersive experience. If you’re in the city, visiting a Paris cabaret should be at the top of your list.
