WORTH A DETOUR
CHEZ LOUISETTE

Here since 1967, Chez Louisette is popular with tourists visiting Paris' largest flea mar-
ket, the Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen. The food is as abysmal as the service; the real
reason people come here is to hear old-time chanteusesand chanteursbelt out num-
bers by Piaf and other classic French singers.

MOULIN ROUGE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 01 53 09 82 82; www.moulinrouge.fr ; 82 bd de Clichy, 18e; Blanche)
Immortalised in the posters of Toulouse-Lautrec and later on screen by Baz Luhrmann, the
Moulin Rouge twinkles beneath a 1925 replica of its original red windmill. Yes, it's rife
with bus-tour crowds. But from the opening bars of music to the last high kick it's a whirl of
fantastical costumes, sets, choreography and Champagne. Booking advised.

This century-old music hall features two levels of balconies as well as a main floor area. An

Power.
