The Lido, Paris





A famous cabaret in Paris, perhaps not as well known as the Moulin Rouge but interesting all the same.  Don't you just salivate at the "Delux' menu for about $6.00 in 1950. Tomato soup and Hamburger but I suppose relatively good for that era.  Unbelievable that patrons were offered a choice between Hamburger and Chateaubriand. Today the deluxe menu and show is 300 euros plus service charges and drinks. How times and tastes have changed!!!

  1. Aimed at the American Tourist, I believe. In the 1980s, Seiichi worked as Japanese sales for a similar concern which still exists - Paradis Latin. More tits, bums and feathers than you could shake a stick at! But the concept was still the same - dinner and a show for Ffr 70
    (in those days). Only menu difference I remember was steamed rice as an alternative to potatoes - a (light) Japanese touch...
