Chat Noir!

Time travel to the 1890s and step inside legendary night-club Le Chat Noir. Become the bohemians and aristocrats of Paris and enter a candlelit world of glittering cabaret, bohemian pleasures, vintage cuisine and live music. 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...
