This place was constantly listed on my travel guides as a taste of bohemian Montmartre. Unlike the Moulin Rouge, the Lapin Agile still maintains a lot of its bohemian nature. The setting was almost surreal as you sit in a darkened reddish room surrounded by old wooden furniture and paintings from the 1920s. The various singers are entertaining and did... More

The cabaret is small, is an old Montmartre tavern and is full of history. We made a reservation, but is was redundant as people were received on a first come, first seated base, exactly at 9 PM. Being 1st of January the room was filled at the maximum capacity. No food is offered (Ok, you come for music!) and a... More

The cover price includes one drink (the house drink). When you walk into the room, it is the size of a large bedroom with a piano on one wall and wooden tables and benches everywhere else. Entertainers play ~20 minute sets. The night i was there, the entertainers were all singers playing acoustic guitars. The the crowd was commonly encouraged... More

If you (and all your party) don't speak good colloquial French then there is really little point in going. The show starts late and finishes very late. The songs are generally traditional and greeted with knowing recognition. Participation is encouraged. The seating is cramped and not very comfortable wherever you are assigned a place. Eating and drinking is not really... More

The music was fabulous. Yes, all in french. That is why I... More

Date:August 19, 2008 Independent Traveler I visited Au Lapin Agile with my 13 year old niece and expected to have an authentic French experience and did. I understand when you'll in France people speak french, however, due to the touristy nature of the venue, you would expect some sort of commentary on the show. The only ones having fun were... More

This has the potential to be one of the highest-rating attractions in Paris, but someone needs to tell the managers of this place that they are performing for customers, not for themselves! We were slightly dubious about going here, because of the mixed reviews. We were right to have our doubts . . . Starting with the good news, it... More

My husband and I attended an evening at Au Lapin Agile in April 2008. We had a nice time and overall, do not regret going -- but here's what you need to know before you go... 1. All the singing and banter is in French. This is fine (after all, you're in France!), but since there is no translating of... More
