About Paris, France Nightlife
Not only is Paris the city of light, but of sound, music, dance, and revelry. In fact, most any big-city diversion you could conceive of is available in France’s capital. Relaxed bar-cafes, high-tech dance clubs, and mellow jazz haunts fit your mood like a well-worn glove, promising good times in any format. Cabaret venues deliver a dose of vibrant entertainment, and pubs prove to be more than just the domain of the British Isles. Progressive Paris also promises a wealth of nighttime opportunities for gay men and women, mostly in the Marais neighborhood. Trend-setting is a regular pastime for young club-goers along rue Oberkampf, and the Bastille area courts folks intent on an evening of fun. If money’s not an issue, the Champs-Elysées features plenty of high-priced places and attracts lots of tourists. Buddha Bar, with its signature Asian icon, is great for people-watching, and La Flèche d'Or boasts terrific live music and alternative ambience. If you simply want to dance, Paris’s top choice is Queen, nominally a gay venue but one of the city’s best (and most packed) places to groove and be beautiful, no matter your inclinations.

Local Expert Tips for Paris Nightlife
- Barrio Latino:
"Weekend nights are always the busiest, but you can have a surprisingly good time on a weekday night, too, as you have a little more space to spin your partner around on the dance floor." - Le Pompom Palais Bar: "A fresh, hip venue with a large underground dance floor that organizes its fair share of concerts as well as other musical events."
- Le Pont des Arts: "There is virtually no shop nearby, so you pretty much have to buy everything you intend to eat or drink beforehand."
