There are several captivating cabarets in the city with shows that dazzle and sparkle. The Crazy Horse is known for its provocative sensuality, the Lido offers truly stunning special effects and at César Palace it’s all glitz and glitter.

They’re all offering 2 for 1 during this special fortnight that celebrates theatre in Paris…
