Le Lapin Agile

Last night, we went to the Lapin Agile in Montmartre. It's this adorable little cabaret in Montmartre. We went as a class and it was absolutely fantastic. The best way to describe it is as a tiny tavern where everyone sits really close to one another and everyone sings. There was about 6 or 7 singers who sat at a table towards the middle, next to a piano, with a pianist. They sang and led the songs. As a group, we took up more than half the room, but the French were singing along with most of the songs. They of course try to include you by giving more simple instructions, ie, clap like this or sing this really simple line. They also sang songs most people would know: Aux Champs-Elysées, Complainte de la Butte, Alouette, La Vie en Rose, etc...
It was superfun - I recommend it highly.
Pictures!

There was some crazy lighting...

This guy was a little (just a tiny bit) old for me, but I found him to be excessively attractive..."who knows where thoughts come from? they just appear."
