Must-see places in Paris include the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral, or the view from a cruise down the Seine River.
But what if you’re feeling … friskier?
Look no further because Le Crazy Horse is where all the sexy, smoking hot action is at — just ask Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry, who were spotted exiting the venue hand-in-hand over the weekend, marking their first official public outing as a couple.
WHAT IS CRAZY HORSE?
Crazy Horse is a burlesque cabaret club that features glamorous women in artistic, avant-garde, bold productions that are more sophisticated than sleazy, sensual rather than overtly sexual.
The bedazzled, bewigged burlesque performers sport spicy stage names such as Sunny Rockstar, Uma Wanderlust, Sassy a la Mode, Ginger Knockout and Lolita Kiss Curl, just to name a few.
But despite the names, these women put on quite the show, with online reviews describing the acts as “classy” and “elegant.”
That said, the dancers sport fabulous costumes but they are also nude — or close to nude — almost from the get-go. The intimate, modern club isn’t anything like a strip club, largely due to the top-notch, high-quality, complex choreography and production values that goes into each show.
MORE SCANDALOUS TIMES
By 1968, liberal attitudes meant the dancers could do away with G-strings and go completely nude.
While it’s considered a sexy night of music, art and tasteful nudity, that wasn’t always the case.
Previous acts include a German dancer who once wore only a Nazi Swastika to cover her privates and a naked nun act that was eventually rejected.
At one point, the women were weighed weekly while founder Alain Bernardin banned the performers from having boyfriends.
ALAIN BERNARDIN’S DEATH
Bernardin founded the Crazy Horse Saloon in 1951.
He was immersed so deeply in that world that he directed the 1977 film Crazy Horse de Paris , in which he played himself.

In 1985, Bernardin eventually married his revue leader, Lova Moor, whom he discovered and launched.
However, pressures from life in the club are believed to be why he took his own life in his office at the Crazy Horse in 1994. He was 78.
STARS WHO LIKE TO WATCH
Trudeau and Perry were there to celebrate the singer’s 41st birthday, days after Kim Kardashian squeezed herself into a gold corset dress to celebrate her 45th trip around the world with a private party at the cabaret club.
Perry is no stranger to the club and is even considered part of the “crazy fam.”
The Firework singer makes it a point to visit, while Rihanna, Cara Delevingne, Kaia Gerber, Monica Bellucci and Eddie Murphy also count themselves as previous guests.
Other stars who have been photographed with the exotic dancers in recent years include Johnny Depp, Scarlett Johansson, Matt Damon and Sharon Stone.
And back in the day, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor and Mick Jagger were among its famous visitors.
There are also the celebs who have joined the show and strutted their stuff on the sexy stage, like Pamela Anderson, Dita von Teese, Blackpink and White Lotus star Lisa.
