Paris was an attraction on The Pike that brought visitors back to medieval France.
Description[edit | edit source]
The attraction was comprised of four buildings.
There was a reproduction (complete with guillotine), of the Bastille. A centralized stage for performers were surrounded by venders dealing fine linens, perfumes, laces, champagne, etc.
One of the popular buildings contained `transparent mirrors,' or illusions that suggested mirrors but were not.
The attraction contained two restaurants-
1- Cabaret Bruant: where people could sing or recite poetry while others imbibed and ate. Included the celebrated Champagne Dancers.
2- Cafe' Chantant: was a vaudeville-like theater decorated in grand Art Nouveau style. Opera recitals, acrobatic acts, and comedians filled the stage. Shows were changed so patrons would come back again.
The Antoine Restaurant is a reproduction of the New Orleans Restaurant "Antoine," located in "Paris" on the Pike.
