At the time of night when some of us are tucked
up in bed, others are keeping Paris very much animated. Throughout
the four corners of the capital, there’s plenty of choice
for the nocturnal among you!
From prestigious jazz clubs to antiquated music halls, latino
cafés, karaoke bars and musical bistros, for musical variety
Paris has an embarrassment of riches.
Choose your style among hip-hop, contemporary
and classical ballet, salsa, the famous French cancan of the cabarets,
or spend a feverish night clubbing on one of the hundreds of dance
floors throughout the city. Maybe you’re more interested
in rock, afro, techno, zouk, rap, or samba? Every kind of musical
taste is represented in clubs, bars and halls around the capital.
And if you’re still not sleepy when the sun comes up, you
can always head for an “afters” and keep on dancing.
Below are the names of some well known night clubs and jazz clubs
