Paris by night

Bars, restaurants, clubbing, show venues...

At sunset, the French capital takes on a different aspect: barmen serve pre-dinner drinks, waiters begin to set tables for dinner, young people make a few final calls to decide what club they will meet up at later and musicians tune their instruments for an evening performance. Paris has always had a reputation for nightlife so here is how to be part of the scene! Bars, restaurants, clubs, concert halls … Make a note of the capital’s not-to-be-missed addresses to devise your own unforgettable evening out!
