Experience an authentic Parisian evening with homemade French cuisine and an intimate cabaret show in an artist’s charming home studio, led by Silvano.
French Dinner & Cabaret Show in Artist’s Home: A Truly Unique Parisian Experience
Imagine stepping into an artist’s cozy Parisian studio, where the aroma of homemade French dishes mingles with the sounds of live music. This tour promises an intimate, engaging evening blending authentic French cuisine with a lively cabaret show, all hosted by Silvano, a seasoned performer with over 20 years of stage experience. Whether you’re a lover of good food, music, or a touch of local art and storytelling, this experience offers a rare peek into Parisian culture away from the busy tourist streets.
What really draws us in is the personal touch — dining in a private home, with homemade dishes like quiche Lorraine and local cheeses, makes the experience feel more like a dinner with friends than a conventional tour. Plus, the live performances, including piano and accordion, add warmth and authenticity. On the flip side, this kind of setting might not suit travelers seeking a large-scale, high-energy show with flashy production values. It’s best suited for those who appreciate craftsmanship, intimate social settings, and a little humor woven into their evening.
If you’re after a memorable, less touristy way to experience French culture in Paris, this tour could become a highlight of your trip. It’s perfect for travelers who want to connect with local art, enjoy high-quality food, and feel truly immersed in a Parisian home environment.

His personality shines through as he performs a cabaret show that blends music, humor, and storytelling. His reinterpretation of French songs within his theatrical universe adds a fresh twist to familiar melodies. In one review, Judy_B praised his performance, noting that she learned a lot about Paris’s history through his songs, and found the experience “very unique and local.”
The entertainment is designed to be relaxed and engaging, rather than high-octane. You might find yourself sipping champagne or wine while listening to classic French tunes, and Silvano’s comedic touches make the evening lighthearted and fun.
The whole experience lasts around 3 hours and 30 minutes, giving ample time to savor the food and enjoy multiple performances. With a maximum group size of 16, it remains small enough for genuine interaction, but large enough to feel lively.
