We are traveling around Europe visiting the Christmas Markets. We were in Belgium and left on…read moreChristmas Day to see if we could get last minute tickets to the Nutcracker that night as the website is not friendly for foreigners trying to purchase tickets. Right when we arrived in Paris two of our party took an Uber to the hotel while my mother and I took the bus to the Bastille ticket office. It is not easy to find and there is a fence. We had to go around some stairs and the opening was hidden around the corner. We stood in line for 2 hours. People behind us were counting and we told them we were purchasing for the 4 of us. On the Bastille website you are allowed to purchase 2 tickets per person. They got upset when my father and brother came after bringing our luggage to the hotel. They started pushing my brother and me. They got very physical. When the two line attendance came to open the doors the older ladies started yelling and pushing our family. They made derogatory racist remarks about us and when we told the line attendants they need to call the police their comment was "That's not our job". If that isn't one of their jobs than I don't see why they get paid at all. We finally got to the ticket counter and the person behind the counter was going to give us four tickets until one of the line attendance spoke to them in French and we were then told we were only allowed to purchase 2. We were told if we wanted to purchase two more tickets they had to stand back in cue. They ended up selling the two tickets that we were going to receive to one of the ladies that was pushing us. After everyone else got their tickets they happened to fix two seats and we were finally allowed to pay for two more tickets right before the performance. We paid three to four times the amount we should have paid for the other two tickets. When we sat down in the two original seats we purchased, insult to injury the older lady and daughter who were racist and assaulting us were sitting right next to us. After the show we talked to one of the managers that was there after the show and we talked to him. He was apologetic and said that he would write an email to the parent company that takes care of the tickets corroborating our story as he heard about it from other staff members. It was Christmas Day and it was one of the worst Christmas' our family has ever had. When we went back the next day they said it was our fault again.

There were multiple tours going on in different languages at the same time but each group went to different sections. So your group might pass another group but you were not together. Our group was about 20 people. When you are facing the opera you go to the left and security about half way down the opera lets you in. Then you check in and wait in a rotunda area. After waiting for probably 15-20 our tour started. They take you to most of the areas and it's semi private. One of the highlights of our trip!

And yes.. there are pickpocketers all over Paris, especially in areas where tourists lose their situational awareness. So bring your brain. That being said, my husband greatly appreciated the thorough security pat down which gave him the FULL experience.. 5/5 would recommend. The food is shockingly great. The sounds of champagne bottle popping everywhere really adds to the ambiance. The place was completely packed to see a tried and true review complete with feathers, sparkles and full body makeup. Wouldn't say it's entirely family friendly... but it has a children's menu and my 9 year old son said the dancing was amazing. Put this on your must do list.

I thought it was okay overall. I went to the 11:30 PM show on a Wednesday and was surprised by how…read morepacked it was. I arrived early and waited in line since I had heard it was first come, first served. If you want a good seat, I definitely recommend getting there early. I've been to a handful of Vegas style shows, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Moulin Rouge. Would I go back again? Probably not. Would I recommend it? If you enjoy Vegas style shows with lots of spectacle and entertainment, then yes. I'm glad I experienced it, and I think it was worth seeing once, but for me, it was definitely a one-and-done experience. The positives: I'm glad I went early. The doors open around 10:15 PM, but you can get in line before then. They don't start seating until around 10:45 PM. If you want a chance at front-row seats, I'd definitely recommend getting there as early as possible. I'm also glad I didn't get the champagne package. Personally, I'd recommend getting the basic ticket and enjoying food and drinks somewhere else before or after the show. There are plenty of places nearby where you can get a better meal or drinks for less. The show started and finished on time, which I really appreciated, especially since it was the late night 11:30 PM show. The staff was organized and seemed to know what they were doing. Everyone had their own job, and despite how busy and crowded it was, things moved along pretty smoothly. The cons: It was pricey, especially when you factor in the extra cost of food and drinks. I was also surprised by how casually dressed a lot of people were. I honestly expected guests to dress up more because of the reputation and glamorous image of Moulin Rouge. Of course, everyone can wear whatever they want, but I was expecting more of a dressed up, special occasion atmosphere. Another thing I wasn't expecting was being seated at a communal table with three other couples. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but it did take away from the more intimate and upscale experience I had pictured. Overall, I'm glad I went and can now say I experienced Moulin Rouge in Paris. It was fun to see once, but based on my experience, I don't feel the need to go back. If you love Vegas style shows, big performances, and a lively atmosphere, you may really enjoy it. For me, it was a fun experience to check off the list, but ultimately a one-time visit.
