One of the most famous landmarks of Parisian entertainment is the Moulin Rouge cabaret. Its building is topped with a windmill and dramatically illuminated at night, one of the symbolic images of Paris. It presents shows daily at 9pm and 11pm. Tickets are usually priced at 87-97 Euros, with a half-bottle of champagne included. Admission to the exclusive banquets which follow every show is quite high. Apart from its famous cabaret theatre, the Moulin Rouge is also home to a modern cinema hall and the spacious Mistinguett Lounge, which can be rented for private parties. For detailed information on music, film and dance events, consult one of the listings magazines, such as Pariscope or L’Officiel des Spectacles.

If you're looking for some quality family entertainment, Paris is probably one of the most attractive locations in Europe. There's nothing like the Disneyland Resort Paris. Opened in 1992 on the outskirts of the French capital, it's the only venue of its kind in Europe, attracting more than 12,000,000 visitors every year. It guarantees an unforgettable experience for visitors ready to spend a day in a world of magic and adventure in the company of Disney characters.

Children can learn about ancient French history while having fun at the world-famous Parc Asterix, dedicated to the characters from popular comic books. Located 30 kilometres north of Paris, it can be reached directly from the Charles de Gaulle Airport. Those looking for a pleasant afternoon in natural surroundings should visit the French capital's premier weekend getaway, the Château of Thoiry, which is a large park complex featuring a castle, royal gardens and a zoo. It has been a favourite spot for Parisians ever since it opened to the public in 1965. Situated about 45 kilometres west of Paris, it boasts a collection of over 1,000 wild animals, most of them roaming freely along the main drive-through lane.
