What type of performance should I expect at Lapin Agile?

Lapin Agile features character singers performing traditional French songs from the early 1900s, accompanied by live musicians on piano, accordion, or guitar. This is intimate, authentic cabaret—not a high-production spectacle with cancan dancers. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly, reflecting genuine Belle Époque café culture.

Is hotel pickup and drop-off included?

Yes, a private car picks you up from your Paris hotel at the start of the tour and returns you at the end of the evening.

What's included in the dinner?

A full multi-course dinner at a traditional 20th-century French restaurant is included. Beverages may be à la carte.

How much walking is involved?

Montmartre is hilly and the guided walking tour covers the main district, including the approach to Sacré-Cœur. Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes. You'll travel by car between major stops.

Is this suitable for families with children?

While families can book this tour, Lapin Agile is a traditional adult cabaret venue with a cozy, intimate bar-like atmosphere. The late evening timing and rustic setup may not suit young children. Check with the supplier about age recommendations.

What is the total duration and what time do I return?

The tour is 6 hours total, typically starting around 6–7 PM from your hotel. You'll return to your hotel by approximately midnight, depending on traffic and the final cabaret performance length.

About this activity

Spend an evening exploring Montmartre's bohemian heritage with a private guide, followed by a multi-course dinner and an authentic cabaret performance at the legendary Lapin Agile. This curated experience combines art-district history, traditional French cuisine, and genuine turn-of-the-century entertainment in an intimate, character-filled setting.

Indulge in an intimate and authentic evening in Montmartre, the famous historic quarter of Paris. Get to know the former hillside village that is now a part of Paris and its artistic and bohemian past. Start this exceptional evening from your Paris hotel, where a private guide and a car will take you to Montmartre. You’ll learn about the history of the area on a private walking tour, finishing up at the top of the hill you'll admire the exterior of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, overlooking Paris. Following the tour, you will enjoy a full-course dinner in a traditional 20th-century French restaurant.

After dinner, you’ll attend a musical performance at the traditional Lapin Agile cabaret, an “old Montmartre” café that reflects the heart and soul of the turn of the 20th century in France. Don’t expect the stereotypical French cancan dancers with feathered costumes! Here, you will find character singers singing old traditional French songs, accompanied by a pianist, an accordionist or a guitarist surrounded by timeless and rustic decor. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy, bringing to life the heart and soul of 20th-century France, making it a truly intimate experience. At the show's end, you'll meet your driver at the cabaret who will take you back to your hotel.
