Raspoutine

Just off the Champs-Élysées, this former Russian cabaret held on to its baroque decor: gilded banquettes, walls draped in velvet, ornate chandeliers, and alcoves. These days it attracts a young, moneyed crowd who come to drink cocktails and Champagne and dance. It’s both a cabaret, where Dita Von Teese has performed, and a club with burlesque shows. This is one of the most exclusive clubs in the capital, so you’ll want to dress the part. It’s not a sneakers and jeans kind of place.
