The City of Light’s nightlife is sure
to have something for everyone: discos, nightclubs and bars
of all kinds and in all districts of the city strive to attract
people looking to have a good time and hoping to enjoy the
night.
Techno, house, garage and latino are the popular sounds at
discos and clubs at the moment. Admission prices (usually
about the Euros 15) often include one free drink. Clubs open
at about 2300 and tend not to close until dawn; it is coolest
to arrive around 0300, or at least after midnight.
Popular areas include Montmartre (especially in summer), Sacre-Coeur
and Bastille, which is full of clubs and bars. The younger
crowd tend to head for Oberkampf, which is becoming increasingly
fashionable.
The opera, the theatre or cafes where live music is being
played are just some of the quieter night outing options.
Good music venues are found in the Pigalle area, which happens
to be Paris’s seedy sex center. Another great place
for cafés in the evenings is the Marais district.
