Vanilla Swingers – A swinger podcast for newbies, by newbies in the lifestyle
Tucked in the heart of Paris’s Latin Quarter, Théâtre ChoChotte is the city’s sexiest secret – part burlesque, part striptease, all foreplay. Couples, take notes. This is not your average cabaret.
If you’ve popped your Paris cabaret cherry at the touristy Moulin Rouge or the sultry Crazy Horse (yes, yes, we’ve done both), then you’re ready for the next course – Théâtre ChoChotte, a delicious little erotic appetizer before you dive mouth-first into Paris’s libertine scene. Tucked into the heart of the Latin Quarter, this super secret place is equal parts burlesque, strip club, immersive theater, and sexual fantasy. Naughty, naughty Paris – you never disappoint.
Join Kat & Leo as they dish up swinger club reviews and lots of questionable newbie advice on the Vanilla Swingers podcast.

👀 First Impressions –This place is a hidden gem in Saint-Germain, literally. You’ll miss it if you’re not looking, just a discreet sign and a tiny entryway. But once you pay your way and descend the narrow staircase into a candlelit basement, it’s like stumbling into a very horny speakeasy. No mafioso strip club vibes, no pushy hustlers. It’s female-run, classy, and low-key, just the way we like it.
🎟️ Inside Tour – Step off the lively streets of the Latin Quarter and down a narrow staircase into what feels like a secret lair of lust. The space is cozy and low-lit, like a sexy Victorian speakeasy. No more than 15 to 20 guests can fit comfortably, all lounging on well-worn velvet couches and low, floppy armchairs that feel like they were stolen from your Grandma’s boudoir – if your Grandma had a wild past. The dancers perform just steps away, with no stage to separate you from the action. Instead, the setup feels more like an old-world living room, complete with a chaise lounge, a stripper pole, and a sensual glow that makes everyone look just a little more delicious. There’s no bar, but guests in the know often sneak in wine-filled Perrier bottles. It’s BYO – and we mean everything. Forget flashy lights or booming sound systems. This is minimal, intimate, and all about atmosphere. It feels like a private show you somehow got invited to by mistake, and now you never want to leave.
🎭 Performances – Forget cookie-cutter routines or Vegas-style dazzle. At Théâtre ChoChotte, each performance is a handcrafted fantasy. The dancers, typically 4 or 5 women per night, rotate through sets that are part choreographed, part improvised, and entirely unique to their mood and persona.
One might perform a sultry rope bondage number, tying herself up in shibari while the audience holds its collective breath. Another could emerge in a red cape, dripping candle wax over her curves like a witch in heat. You might catch two girls reenacting a slumber party gone wild, or our personal favorite: a pirate lass dancing to a sea shanty, cheeky and whimsical as she swirled her hips. Some girls pole dance, some crawl into your lap, and others invite the audience to tickle them with feathers or grind gently in your direction.
There are no rules – only boundaries, and even those are delightfully bendy. The best part? You can come and go as you please. Stay for one act or stay all night – each performance offers something totally different.
💃 Private Dances – Now, here’s where things get very interesting or very disappointing, depending on who you are and how you play. At the end of each performance, the dancers usually give a sultry little nod and invite anyone interested to find them after the show for a private dance. It’s low-key and casual, but the invitation is clear. There’s no hard sell—just a soft whisper of possibility. What happens next depends entirely on whether you’re flying solo or coupled up, because private dances at Théâtre ChoChotte are not one-size-fits-all.
👦🏻 For men, it’s more or less a solo experience. You’re guided to a tiny, dimly lit side room with iron bars or a railing separating you from the performer. It’s visual, hands-off, and more artistic than erotic, depending on what you were hoping for. Some describe it as voyeuristic performance art; others call it a pricey tease. Either way, 200€ for a few minutes of watching a woman masturbate while you sit motionless isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time.
👩❤️👨 But for couples? Oh, mon dieu – it’s a different story entirely. We’ve had a dancer invite us behind the usual rails for a kind of private, participatory performance that felt more like an improv scene from one of our dirtiest dreams. We were the show, putting on a slow, sexy performance for her while she watched, touched a little, buzzed a lot, and nearly kissed one of us (Kat’s first girl kiss – so close!). It felt intimate, spontaneous, and absolutely unforgettable.
So yes, the private dances are pricey—but if you’re a couple and you vibe with the dancer? It could be the cherry on top of your Parisian night of decadence.
🔥 Vibe Check – The vibe? Sexy, curious, and surprisingly respectful. On most nights, the crowd is a mix of adventurous couples, a single female and a handful of solo men – typically a 50/50 or 60/40 split depending on the hour. No one’s obnoxious, and no one’s pressuring anyone. Most of the single men are quiet, observant, and clearly just thrilled to be in the room. Couples tend to get extra attention from the dancers, especially the women, who often flirt, engage, and sometimes pull them into the action. But if you’re open to being seduced, expect a little feather teasing, a lap straddle, or maybe even a starring role in someone’s fantasy. The girls are charming, cheeky, and very intuitive – they know how to read a room. And if the chemistry’s right? Things might just heat up beyond anything you expected from a “theater.” It’s sensual, spicy, and somehow still classy. Paris, you dirty little flirt – you’ve done it again.
✅ Would We Go Back? – Yes, yes, and double yes. It’s sexy, artsy, intimate, and unlike anything else in Paris. Our only regret? Not getting a private dance with Sea Shanty Girl. She had us in a chokehold with her pirate jig and whimsical thighs. We still think about her. If you’re curious about kink, flirting with exhibitionism, or just want a more immersive erotic night out – ChoChotte is your Parisian playground.
⭐⭐ PRO TIP: If you’re planning to pop your cherry at one of Paris’s infamous libertine clubs, hit ChoChotte first to get your engines revving. Go early (doors open around 8:30 PM), soak up the sensual energy, and let the show get you just worked up enough. Then, around 10 or 11 PM, hop in an Uber and head to a swinger club. Consider it foreplay, with a velvet curtain.
