This winter in Paris, your Hotel Doisy Etoile recommends a show that’s dazzling the entire capital. Bringing together that legendary venue of Parisian cabarets, the Folies Bergères, and ‘the enfant terrible of fashion’, Jean-Paul Gautier, the Fashion Freak Show invites you to share in an invigorating, offbeat, funny and daringly original account of the great couturier’s life that is like a cabaret and a fashion parade rolled into one effervescent pop creation!

Paris has museums devoted to archaeology, history, ancient and contemporary art, as you would expect. But others cover more unusual subjects, such as fashion and perfume… In this category the Musée des Arts Forains (Museum of Fairground Arts) most definitely belongs. Accessible most of the year by reservation only, for ten days during the Christmas period it invites everyone to the Festival du Merveilleux (Festival of Marvels).
