The Experience

The venue sits in Montmartre, the hilltop district where cabaret culture took root in Paris, and La Nouvelle Eve itself is dressed in 1920s-style décor — Belle Époque touches, a lively atmosphere, nothing stiff. You'll take your seat for the 'Paris je t'aime' show, which traces Paris' artistic history through the music of Edith Piaf and her signature song La Vie en Rose. The performance mixes classic and modern choreography, flamboyant costumes, and comical acts, and it ends with the thrills of the famous cancan dance — the leg-kicking finale the venue is known for.

You pick your entry point when you book. One option is to arrive at showtime with a half-bottle of Champagne to sip during the performance. The other is to come earlier and start with a 3-course dinner paired with wine and one glass of Champagne, then move into the show. Either way, audience participation is encouraged — clap along if the mood strikes. Photos and videos aren't allowed during the performance, so the evening stays in the room and in memory.

Elegant attire is required, though a tie and jacket aren't necessary. Public transportation reaches the venue easily. The show itself runs 90 minutes, and the minimum age to drink alcohol is 18.

Top questions

Can I take photos or videos during the La Nouvelle Eve show?

Photography and video recording are not permitted during the performance, so you'll experience the show without a screen between you and the stage.

What's the difference between the Champagne option and the dinner option?

The Champagne option lets you arrive at showtime with a half-bottle to enjoy during the performance. The dinner option brings you earlier for a 3-course French meal with wine and Champagne, then the show follows.

Is La Nouvelle Eve close to Moulin Rouge?

La Nouvelle Eve sits near Moulin Rouge in Montmartre, the same legendary cabaret district, though it's a separate venue with its own Belle Époque atmosphere and 'Paris je t'aime' show.

What time does the show start?

Show times depend on which option you book: the Champagne-only shows run at 8:15pm or 10:30pm, while the dinner option starts at 6:30pm to allow time for the 3-course meal before the performance.

Do I need to dress formally?

Elegant attire is required for La Nouvelle Eve. A tie and jacket are not necessary, but casual clothing won't work.

Is audience participation really part of the show?

Yes — the venue encourages you to clap along and join in the energy of the performance, so it's not a sit-silent experience.
