Under the neon lights of Pigalle, at the foot of Montmartre Hill, the cabaret Madame Arthur invites you to a left-footed New Year's Eve celebration, full of extravagance and lively festivity to bid farewell to 2025 with style. From 8 p.m., the doors open to a cabaret world where glamour blends with humor, and the new year kicks off in music, in French, and in pure party spirit.
Starting at 9 p.m., an evening celebrating Céline Dion sets the tone, followed by a lively concert performance. Then, at 11:15 p.m., a giant music quiz kicks off to heat up the crowd before the midnight countdown. When the clock strikes twelve, the party shifts into a 100% French-language music club, blending nostalgic hits with modern chart-toppers, and continues seamlessly until dawn.
If you've always dreamed of singing JuL while sporting an 18th-century wig, this evening is just for you. The Grand Masquerade Ball at Madame Arthur offers more than just a party: it’s a complete dive into a whimsical and extravagant world, where glittering masks, shimmering costumes, and every detail are designed to make you forget the everyday.
Whether you're a devoted fan of Céline Dion, admire Véronique Sanson, or have a special place in your heart for France Gall, or if you're simply eager to experience the wild, uninhibited atmosphere of a legendary drag cabaret, this Christmas Eve in Paris promises a night to remember. The performers at Madame Arthur, faithful to the iconic spirit since 1946, welcome you with a cheeky show, a glass of champagne, and an infectious energy. Equipped with smoking areas, a cloakroom, and an inclusive policy, they ensure total comfort for you to dance, sing, and feel alive without reservations.
Whether you're after a unique idea for New Year's Eve in Paris, a lively spot to party with friends, or a queer-friendly venue celebrating diversity, Madame Arthur welcomes you into an atmosphere that's festive, warm, and a little quirky. Ideal for groups, the venue also suits couples looking for a romantic outing or solitary souls seeking a memorable New Year's celebration beyond the ordinary.
Are French tunes, glitter, or festive queer atmospheres not your thing? This evening probably isn’t for you. But if you enjoy drag nights, costume chaos, and moments that feel truly otherworldly, get ready for a one-of-a-kind experience. Please note that the organizers reserve the right to refuse entry to ensure a respectful and inclusive environment: any discriminatory, LGBTphobic, or disrespectful behavior will be promptly turned away.
The Madame Arthur cabaret invites you to gather at 75 Rue des Martyrs, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, just a short walk from Pigalle or Abbesses stations. On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the celebration kicks off at 8 p.m. and continues into the early hours, until 6 a.m. A club ticket is available on-site from 10 p.m. for €30, offering a more relaxed entry, while those eager to skip the lines can opt for a VIP pass at €50.
Grab your most extravagant mask, sprinkle in some glitter, and join us to ring in 2026 at one of Paris’s most iconic nightlife spots. Madame Arthur promises a celebration as dazzling and unapologetically bold as she is: free-spirited, sparkling, and delightfully irreverent.
