- Jean VBrussels, Belgium107 contributionsNostalgic, sing along well known French songs from the sixties and seventies ... or beforeNice nostalgic atmosphere - "back to cabaret in Paris in the sixties". Various artists sing 3 to 5 songs each. Mostly songs by a good pianist. And you sing along if you can. The woman with the guitar has a nice "présence". The accordeon was the weakest part. You are seated on "tabourets" or wooden benches. With one exception (a talented young woman) , the performers are getting on in age - so hurry while it lasts ...Thank you very much !

- Maxine LBishop Auckland, United Kingdom315 contributionsEnjoyable eveningMy husband and i had booked tickets for this beforehand and opted for bottle of champagne for 2. Arrival and departure times are flexible so we arrived about 9.30pm and left around 12.20pm. On arrival we were taken in and sat on a wooden seat:/bench in s small room . There were a group of singers on sat around a piano. They all took turns to do solos and encouraged audience participation. All songs were in French, we recognised some of them but didn’t understand everything but we still had s brilliant night. I would recommend trying it for something different.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 28, 2024

We loved our evening at this authentic cabaret - the musicians were all fabulous and the atmosphere was great. We speak very little French so a lot of the humour of the songs went over our heads, but the passion and talent of the performers meant it was a real pleasure to be a part of regardless. It was a uniquely French experience that we would highly recommend.

A wonderful experience in a historical setting. Although I didn't understand much, it was very entertaining. The charm and songs of times gone by come to life here and allow you to experience and sense the flair of Paris.
I can highly recommend this place, especially for those looking for a cultural experience off the beaten track.

I’ve been to Paris many times but it was my first experience at Au Lapin Agile. It was so fun! Whether you speak French or not you'll get into the spirit. It does get a little tight in there, so make sure to book in advance. I'm not sure how comfortable it would be in the summer, so be cautious of the heat factor. But otherwise, it's such a preserved piece of history. I love how they've kept the magic alive. The people who work there are super sweet and take care of you!!

At a time of universal standardization, it is good to keep our traditions. Bravo to the Lapin agile artists for offering us these typically French moments. The singers are remarkable and the songs very well chosen. And thank you for the very warm welcome. Long live the agile rabbit!

Don't get me wrong - France is magnificent, and so many wonderful places - but Lapin Agile transported us back to the wonderful years of the early 20th Century. The likes of the legendary Piaf, the inimitable Charles Chaplin, the glamourous Vivien Leigh all sat on those same simple timber benches - it was a place of joyous celebration.
If we ever return to Paris it is the one place we will see again. C'est magnifique!

A lot of people come here under the wrong impression. Although in essence it is a cabaret, au lapin agile is not a "moulin rouge" or "lido" style cabaret. On the contrary, it is essentially how cabarets where originally back in the mid 1880's a place of folk song and music. So be warned there is no dancing or french cancan, or topless women in this joint. As you enter this caberet, you are magically transported back to the bohemian essence of parisian montemartre. It is as if you could almost picture Picasso in the corner enjoying the music, or Modigliani stumbling in. In here instead of a "tourist" enhanced show, you will be stripped to bare minimum to experience french folk music as it should. The show lasts a few hours and the servers are in essence the musicians themselves, so don't expect a glam treatment. Instead let yourself be taken by the beauty of this place. Think about the fact that this place survived Napoleon's III coup d'etat and the proclamation of the french republic, the June Rebellion, WWI, WWII, and many other historical occurrences. It was the meeting place of the bourgeois in the late 1880's- if that's not enough to get your historical blood flowing- honestly you're historically dead. If you want anther beer or drink, in between songs quietly step outside into the reception and ask them for what you want. The reality is they try not to bother you and instead they try to let you enjoy the music. There is no food served here, so grab dinner before hand. If you are tired or jet lagged skip it, and instead wait for a night where you are well rested. If you are tourist coming here to live the "plastic paris" stay away, I promise you will not like it. If instead you like history, the french bohemian essence interests you, or if you love french music, do not miss this place. You will leave feeling like a true bohemian parisian.

I love old French songs very much and looking forward to visit Au Lapin Agile. But I am not sure if I can last 4 hours long. Is it ok to leave early without disturbing others? Thanks.
Written July 1, 2017
Oh yes. Wait until a good moment, preferably as the singers are changing positions or exiting or coming into the room. You will all be entering and leaving by the same entry way.

is this an appropriate place for children (10-14)?

French families come often in mixed generations including toddlers to sing along and be immersed in French singing tradition. Non French speaking families come experience it sometimes.

ciao, vorrei capire se è un locale in cui si entra alle 21 e si rimane a guardare tutto lo spettacolo, oppure se uno arriva quando vuole e se ne va quando vuole.

I enjoyed your review. Is the atmosphere very smoky? One in our foursome can't handle the smoke. Thank you for your response. Gary Rosen Minnesota
Written September 7, 2015
Hi Gary,
From memory Au Lapin Agile was a non smoking venue, you would choke if it was, as it is quite small. There was no smoking the evening we were there. Our group were all non smokers so appreciated the rule.
Enjoy the night, it is great fun.
