Has anyone gone to the Moulin Rouge in France? Can you go inside if you're under 21? Was it fun?

Question

I love the movie Moulin Rouge, and when I was searching for pictures from that movie, a couple pictures came up with random people in front of the actual Moulin Rouge. When I go to France, I REALLY want to go to the Moulin Rouge!!! In Moulin Rouge [the movie] they say it's a nightclub. If that's true, can I still go in even though I'm under 21??? Thanks!!!

Oh also, was it fun if ya went?

Answer 1

It would cost about $250 with dinner per person.

Answer 2

You know that's not how it was in it's prime, right?  That crappy movie didn't accurately portray it.  And now it's just a crappy tourist trap.

Answer 3

ok.. hold your horses...:-)  you gonne be disappointed when you see the buiilding.. it has nothing glamorous except when you get inside.  It is a nightclub where you can only dine and watch the show they perform.  You can not dance or take pictures or anything and to be honest... quite expensive for what you get in return... but well.. you can say you've been to the Moulin Rouge (make sure to book upfront because it's very popular)

Answer 4

The current Moulin Rouge is a Las Vegas type club filled with knuckle dragging rubes and witless tourists salivating over bare breasted women and thinking that by paying inflated prices for mediocre food they are being Parisian sophisticates.

Paris has a truly wonderful nightlife from restaurants with opera singers ( http://www.lebelcanto.com/ ) to fabulous jazz joints ( http://perso.orange.fr/claude.philips/ ) to raucus dance clubs ( http://www.paris-zoom.com/video/257/Geor... )  and even...would you believe...karaoke ( http://www.paris-zoom.com/video/30/Pub-S... )

There's so many great places to go and things to do that it is a shame to waste your time and money on a tourist trap.

Answer 5

Yes I've been; yes it's fun but pricy;  AND - believe it or not -you only have to be over 6 yrs old to get in!!!
