New Year's Eve Shows and Cabarets
  • New Year's Eve at the Moulin Rouge is a classic, albeit extremely pricey, way to celebrate the New Year in Paris. At 650 Euros (approx. $845) per person in 2011-2012, the evening includes a caviar, lobster, and champagne dinner, dancing and music with the Moulin Rouge Orchestra, and a post-midnight show designed especially for the New Year. The evening is topped off with a surprise gift for each person attending.
    For information and reservations: Visit the Moulin Rouge website

  • Lido is another classic Paris cabaret offering a special New Year's Eve dinner and show-- again, at an exorbitant per-head rate. Located on the Champs-Elysees, the Lido New Year's Eve show may include a bottle of champagne, lobster dinner, or both, a specially-choreographed show, and post-midnight festivities. The price per person for 2011 starts at 310 Euros (approx. $400) (champagne-on;y package).
