As Liza Minnelli did declare: "Life is a Cabaret!" so as night falls in Paris enjoy the cheeky, artistic theatrics of ‘Forever Crazy', the latest cabaret show to feature at the infamous Crazy Horse.

Only moments from the Champs-Elysees, the Crazy Horse was the brainchild of Alain Bernardin back in 1951. Originally inspired by American show girls, the Crazy Horse embodied grace and beauty; the best of burlesque and cabaret, choreographed with spectacular lighting and performed by strikingly beautiful and scantily clad women.

Forever Crazy adopts a modern spin on classic acts, featuring a multicultural cast of 19 ballet-trained dancers, each with their stage name. Sexy, elegant, risque and suggestive, in 90 minutes you'll observe 14 acts of Parisian Cabaret at its best.

Over the years the Crazy Horse has transformed itself into a Paris nightspot acclaimed for its portrayal of artistic expression and sensuality. It has entertained over six million viewers, including the celebrity likes of Madonna, Warren Beatty, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Hugh Hefner, President John F. Kennedy, Christina Aguilera, Prince, Dita Von Tesse, Pink, Sting and Beyonce.

And now it's your turn. Sit back, sip some complementary champagne and enjoy the show!

Arrête! C'est ici l'empire de la mort. ( Stop! Here is the empire of death. ) is the sign that greets you as you enter the underground chambers.  Descend deep into the tunnels of Paris underground and explore over one kilometer of Catacombs that are decorated with human skulls and bones.  Discover the extraordinary history that is responsible for the present condition of the Catacombs and listen to the haunting stories and legends that embody these galleries of skeletons.

These ancient limestone quarries were originally mined for the construction of many of the most famous buildings and bridges in Paris.  Yet the quarries would soon become host to a more ghastly history.  In the late 1700's the overcrowded cemeteries throughout the city had been the cause of  disease and infection for the residents so it was necessary to relocate millions of decaying bodies.  The bodies were exhumed and transported  to the underground quarries during the midnight hours.  The bones were than stacked neatly in various rooms creating  kilometers of walls composed entirely of human remains.

The eerie underground burial chambers are fascinating and will expose a very different side of the City of Lights.  Access to the Catacombs is extremely limited and the long lines can last up to two hours.  With privileged Skip the Line access you can avoid the long wait and enjoy an intimate visit with our limited group of just 20 guests per day. Join us and explore Paris as never before on this exclusive Skip the Line tour!

You will enter the museum through the original Medieval structure dating from the 12th century which was originally intended as a fortress.  Join your guide on a journey from one breathtaking gallery to the next as you travel through time visiting works dating from nearly 450 BCE through the 19th century. Begin with the Ancient Greek Parthenon, then gaze at the impeccably graceful Venus de Milo. Admire one of the Louvre?s most celebrated sculptures, Winged Victory of Samothrace.  Continue on to the Apollo Gallery that houses the ornate royal crowns of Napoleon and King Louis XV and be riveted by the valiant tales of these inimitable leaders.

This tour was specifically conceived and designed to bring together all of the museum?s most famous works. Stand in awe as you enter each new wing and are blown away some of the world?s most significant and recognizable masterpieces. Marvel at influential pieces such as Canova?s Psyche and Cupid and Delacroix?s famous painting depicting the sentiment of the French Revolution, Liberty Leading the People. The work of the master Michelangelo awaits you in the Italian renaissance wing ? and you will discover firsthand what makes Leonardo da Vinci?s Mona Lisa the most enigmatic portrait of all time.

The Louvre Museum hosts over 35,000 pieces of artwork spanning over 60,000 square meters of exhibition space.  This Skip the Line, small group tour will lead you comfortably through the galleries so that you can explore all of the masterpieces from Ancient Greece and Rome, to Renaissance Italy, and 19th century France, in the most comprehensive visit available without the hassle of waiting in long lines.

The Sainte Chapelle, commissioned by King Louis IX, was to be a chapel so extraordinary it could not be rivaled, as it was intended to house the relics of the Passion of Christ including the Crown of Thorns and an original piece of the cross. As you enter the upper chapel, originally reserved solely for the king, you will be enveloped in light and color as you stand surrounded by nearly 6,500 feet (670 sq. meters) of the most complete and ornate series of stained glass art from the 13th century.  These light flooded windows tell the complete story of the Old Testament. 

The Sainte Chapelle is the perfect introduction for Paris’ main cathedral, Notre Dame de Paris (“Our Lady of Paris”). 
Here you will see why Victor Hugo selected this cathedral as the setting for his widely acclaimed novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The flying buttresses, menacing gargoyles, soaring spires, the monumental organ and the imposing bell towers create an ambience that is as immensely beautiful as it is ominous.

Experience history unfold as your expert guide recounts the amazing history of Notre Dame from antiquity to current day.   Join us on this incredible journey into the heart of Paris’ architectural masterpieces and be enriched by the history, craftsmanship and the legacy that envelope these monuments. For a dramatic finish, you have the option to skip the long line to climb the 411 steps to the Notre Dame Bell Towers for a gargoyle’s-eye view of Paris.
