You step out of the Parisian night into the glare of red neon and a chorus of heels: the Moulin Rouge looms on Boulevard de Clichy, its windmill turning like a wristwatch counting down the evening. After a short coach ride north through glittering avenues, you settle into your seat; the house lights dim and dancers in rhinestones split the air with the French Cancan.

History
The Moulin Rouge opened in 1889 and became the birthplace of modern cabaret and the French Cancan; the Seine has been Paris’s commercial and cultural artery since Roman times.
Conservation
The Seine’s ecology benefits from reduced emissions and regulated river traffic; visitors are encouraged to avoid littering and to use public transport into central Paris.

Meet your guide outside the Moulin Rouge
Look for the CityVision representative in a red jacket; do not enter the ticket office — your tickets are handed out outside.
Dress smart casual
The cabaret enforces a smart casual dress code — avoid beachwear and bring a light jacket for the river deck.
Cruise ticket timing
The cruise ticket is valid from the day after the show and for six months, so plan when to use it rather than expecting same‑night boarding.
Age and accompaniment rules
Children under 6 cannot attend; 6–17 may enter only when accompanied by an adult — bring IDs to verify ages.
Smart casual outfit
Required by the cabaret dress code and useful for evening comfort.
Comfortable, slip‑resistant shoes
Cobblestones and stairs at the venue and on river quays make stable footwear important.
Light jacket or wrap
Even summer nights can be breezy on the Seine; a layer keeps you comfortable on deck.
