Rating: ★★★★★

Step through the doors of CHAT NOIR! and London disappears. You find yourself inside the legend itself—Le Chat Noir, the infamous club lost for over a century. This temple of art and anarchy, this sanctuary for the beautifully unhinged, has been re-imagined in lavish and fantastical detail by “immersive heavyweights” The Lost Estate—velvet drapes, candlelit tables, glittering aristocrats, the restless spirits of Bohemian Montmartre in every corner...
