Lido de Paris

Taking photos or videos is not permitted during the show.

When to get there
Lido de Paris has performances every day of the year. For last-minute tickets and deals, it’s best to visit in low season (Nov. to Mar.) or opt for a weekday show. The hottest tickets of the year are the special Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve shows, accompanied by a 6-course gourmet dinner and plenty of Champagne.
The magic of *Paris Merveilles*
Over the years, stars such as Elton John, Elvis Presley, Edith Piaf, and Shirley MacLaine have performed at the iconic Lido de Paris cabaret, while in-house entertainers include the famous Bluebell Girls, Lido Boys, and Lido Orchestra. Franco Dragone’s Paris Merveilles show, a 90-minute extravaganza devoted to the wonders of Paris, features sets that include an ice rink, gigantic chandelier, and water fountains, plus acts with burlesque dancers, acrobats, magicians, and mimes.
