Le Double Fond is hosting Christmas Eve in Paris on December 24, 2026: a tapas dinner, table-side magic and a show, from 7 p.m. to about 11 p.m., at €154.

The Double Fond, a magic café-theatre tucked away on Place du Marché-Sainte-Catherine in the Marais, is offering a Christmas Eve dinner on December 24, 2026. From 7 p.m., guests can expect an evening in which magic acts accompany the meal before moving to the stage. The package is priced at 154 € per person and ends around 11 p.m.

In this venue founded by Dominique Duvivier, the waitstaff double as magicians: dinner becomes an initial encounter with the artists. The close-up tricks unfold right at the tables, before the main show. It’s this shift from table magic to the performance that sets the pace for the evening.

What does Christmas Eve look like?

The welcome reception and dinner-show kick off at 7 p.m. Close-up magic sets the tone during the meal, then the Le Double Fond team takes the stage with a show that blends magic and humor. Each participant leaves with a Magic Box, a gift that lets them learn a trick to try at home.

This package pairs the Christmas dinner with a night out at a café-théâtre in the Marais. With a scheduled finish around 11 p.m., you can plan to head out without counting on an extended after-party after midnight.
