_____________Paris Nightlife Paris Nightlife - TravelPuppy.com The temptation to make a beeline for the Champs-Elysées and Trocadéro should be avoided unless visitors want to end up alongside fellow tourists in overpriced bars with large egos but little atmosphere. The action has now moved on to the likes of bustling Bastille, which may have been deserted by the real local cognoscenti, but still boasts plenty of colourful small bars, unique little drinking dens and popular clubs. These days anyone wanting to really mix it with the style crowd and have an ‘authentic’ Parisian night out should break east to raffish Ménilmontant, which boasts an increasingly sophisticated and eclectic nightlife scene that was kicked off by the legendary Café Charbon on rue de Oberkampf, a street now overflowing with bars. The smart money is on Belleville being the next new ‘in’ place, though the scene in this rough-around-the-edges part of town is far less obvious and it is just that bit further from the centre of the city. Back in the heart of Paris, the Marais has managed an impressive renaissance of late and now offers plenty of bars, chic cafes and a perhaps surprisingly active gay and lesbian scene. Pigalle is the seedy sex centre of the city but home to some good music venues and the Moulin Rouge cabaret, 82 boulevard Clichy, 18th, where the cancan is still performed. The minimum legal age for drinking alcohol (beer and wine) is 16 years of age, rising to 18 years for stronger drinks and spirits. The average price of a drink while out and about in Paris is €4, although prices can vary dramatically depending on the location. Bars are usually licensed until 0100 hrs but this does vary according to the individual venue and area. Bouncers frequently turn potential punters away and many of the smarter clubs are,or claim to be, private. There is no sure way of gaining admission, although being foreign, dressed identically to everyone inside, accompanied by a regular or simply beautiful helps. Admission prices (usually around €15-20) often include a free drink. Clubs open at around 2300 hrs and tend not to close until dawn, it is coolest to arrive around 0300 hrs, or at least after midnight. Pariscope is one of the best sources of information for nightlife listings in Paris. Bars Cafés and bars in Paris are very blurred with cafés where you can settle in with a beer and a croissant for breakfast and bars when you can enjoy a late night sandwich along with your cocktail. The 1990s craze for Irish and British pubs has to some extent run its course with the new focus on more funky and interesting bars that have more in common with East Berlin than the East End of London. With the exception of Anglo/Irish bars, beers on tap (bière à la pression) are normally served as a demi (25cl). The once trendy Buddha Bar, 8 bis rue Boissy d’Anglas, 8th, has lost much of its shine, with the bars in Ménilmontant now the place to see and be seen. Café Charbon, 109 rue Oberkampf, 11th, the bar that kicked the rejuvenation of the area is still going strong and has stayed at the head of the game by adding a club venue. The Le Mecano Bar, 99 rue Oberkampf, 11th, so called because of its toolbox decor, is one of most popular bars in the area with a grungy feel. Nearby Lou Pascalou, 14 rue des Panoyaux, 20th, is a relaxed place to hang out with some of the most unusual toilets in Paris. The scene in Ménilmontant is constantly evolving so visitors are advised to just wander around rue de Oberkampf and explore some its side streets for the latest ‘in’ bar. The Marais 3rd and 4th, is packed with a happy mélange of gay and straight bars. Vibrant gay bars include the Coffe Shop, 3 rue Ste-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie, and Amnesia, 42 rue Vieille-du-Temple, 4th. Le Central, 33 rue Vieille-du-Temple, 4th, is one of the city’s oldest gay bars, with a more sedate clientele. Paris’ sole gay-only hotel is situated above the café. There are also a number of quirky little straight bars in and around rue Vieille-du-Temple, including La Chaise au Plafond, 10 rue du Trésor, 4th, with its ceiling decorated with Frisian cows and a lovely terrace, Au Petit Fer à Cheval, 30 rue Vieille-du-Temple, 4th, named after its huge horseshoe-shaped bar, and L’Etoile Manquante, 30 rue Vieille-du-Temple, 4th. Also in the Marais is the Web Bar, 32 rue de Picardie, 3rd, a silversmith’s atelier turned into a hip but relaxing cybernet haunt. For genuine Scottish beer and televised sports in a relaxed Marais setting the Auld Alliance, 80 rue Francois Miron, 2nd, is the place to head. Anglophone ex-pats will also find safety in numbers at the Café Oz, 184 rue St-Jacques, 5th, which serves a good range of draught and bottled beers, or The Frog & Rosbif, 116 rue St-Denis, 2nd, a traditional British pub. A new branch of the Frog & Rosbif, 25 cour St-Emillion, has recently opened in up-and-coming Bercy. Casinos The Casino d’Enghien les Bains, 3 avenue de Ceinture, Enghien-Les-Bains (telephone number: (01) 3934 1300), is a twenty minute drive from Paris on the A15. Visitors must be over 18 years, carry a passport and be formally attired to gain admission to the table rooms, which costs €14 and this is the only casino in Ile de France. Clubs Techno, house, garage and Latino are the popular sounds of Paris and, to a lesser extent, hip hop and drum‘n’bass. Top DJs play house tunes at Le Queen, 102 avenue des Champs-Elysées, 8th, a gay club that is still considered one of the best clubs in Paris despite the influx of tourists. Thursday and Saturday is gay only, with drag queens in profusion. Le Divan du Monde, located in the Pigalle district, at 75 rue des Martyrs, 18th, once hosted Toulouse-Lautrec but now draws a crowd that changes radically according to the evening’s programme, Brazilian, tango, indie, rock, house and hip hop nights alternate with top French and international DJs. Le Saint, 7 rue St-Séverin, 5th, which plays disco, house and salsa, is inexpensive and relaxed. Les Bains Douches, 7 rue du Bourg-l’Abbé, 3rd, a former Turkish bathhouse transformed into the most pretentious of clubs and is enjoying renewed popularity under new ownership. Batofar, 11 quai Francois-Mauriac, 13th, is a fun little club housed in a boat on the Seine that boasts a wide range of musical styles. Live Music Le Divan du Monde (see Clubs above) hosts intimate pop concerts, providing a chance to see the stars close up. Live jazz is played by local and international high-calibre musicians at Le Bilboquet, 13 rue St-Benoît, 6th, nightly (from around 2200 hrs onwards). There is no admission charge but drinks are priced at approximately €20. A young, unsophisticated crowd is drawn to La Flèche d’Or, 102 bis rue de Bagnolet, 20th, a converted station turned live-music venue, with a sticky, beer-stained floor on the edge of trendy Ménilmontant. Concerts run from Thursday to Sunday evenings and the music ranges from blues to rock or reggae and satirical French chansons. Chesterfield Café, 124 rue La Boétie, 8th, situated just off avenue des Champs-Elysées, is popular with ex-pats and hosts US rock and blues bands. To guarantee a seat, it is wise to book a table. Major rock concerts take place at the Palais des Congrès, 2 place de la Porte-Maillot, 17th. The Opus Jazz and Blues Restaurant, 167 quai Valmy, 10th, in the rapidly gentrifying Canal de Saint Martin area, offers good food and a eclectic selection of music, from aspiring Parisian youths through to more established acts. |

In 1873, the National Assembly declared its plans to erect this grand Romano-Byzantine church, dedicated to the Sacred Heart and intended for public usage. It was built as a "praise God anyway" reaction after losing a war with Germany. Construction began in 1876 on the plans of the French architect Abadie.

Private shuttles and taxis are also plentiful. There's even a bus that runs solely between the two airports. Say what you will about driving around Paris -- the city's public transportation (with the exception of buses) is world class. The most charming of Paris's public transport options, the underground Métropolitain (and its sister system the RER) is a massive network. No matter where you are chances are there's a metro station within a few blocks. Likewise the public bus system runs everywhere, but the hours leave a lot to be desired. It's best avoid trying to get anywhere on a bus on a Sunday or a holiday. The Noctambus network dominates in heavily trafficked areas once the underground and the day buses go to sleep. Paris is pretty compact, roughly 6 miles across, that you can walk everywhere. So this, coupled with the excellent transportation system, suppress any desire to drive. Driving around Paris is a job best reserved for the terminally aggressive. If you don't have lots of time to kill, you're better off taking public transportation. Likewise with bicycles: Parisians don't much like to share the road and bikes aren't allowed on the metro. For everything you need to know about getting from Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports to Paris hotels and transportation between Paris activities, Paris restaurants, and more, use the RATP website (www.ratp.info) as your Paris travel guide. Here, you can find scheduling information, maps, pricing, and more. The RATP website features five different languages. Contributors May 14, 2008 change by mcburton (1 point) February 27, 2006 change by giorgio [Add Local transport mode] Metro/RER Edit This Best way within the city (NOT including the CDG or Orly airports) is to get a carnet of 10 metro tickets and use to come and go as you please. Obviously if you don't use some of the tickets they're not refundable. So if you won't use 10 tickets, just get individual tickets. AIRPORT to CITY: RER (regional express train) - it's cheap, quick, and very comfortable. NEVER a bus - it takes ages if it even arrives. Sometimes it will arrive but won't stop, so you'll just have wasted loads of time (bec buses are perpetually late). There's ticket more..

Picasso was born in 1881 and he began to study art in 1895. During his life he created diverse works: painting, sculpture, drawing, ceramics, engraving, and even poetry. After his death in 1973, many of Picasso's works went to the French state, which decided to form a museum with the collection. To house the collection, they chose to use a seventeenth-century hotel, situated in the Marais.

What it lacks in disco, it more than makes up for in elegant, quaint restaurants, many of which can be far off and away from the tourist areas. Many of these "Mom and Pop" restaurants are family owned, and specialize in authentic french cuisine, often bought fresh that day, and prepared for you just hours later. Many of the smaller restaurants will post their handwritten menu just outside the front doors, so that passers by can read what is being served without disrupting guests inside. After a delectable dinner, walking around the city at night is wonderfully entertaining in itself, and it is a great way to walk off those filling dinners. If you need to rest your weary feet, you can always stop at many of the beautiful cafe's scattered throughout the city. These Paris coffee houses serve up more than delicious coffee and sodas. You can choose from a selection of draft beers, both domestic and imported or even a glass of wine or mixed drink of your choice. If you're looking for live music, many of the smaller pubs around the city will hang posters announcing the band or performer for the evening. The bars offer a great atmosphere to fully immerse yourself in Paris nightlife. A nice and entertaining walk is a walk up and past the location of the original Moulin Rouge. The walk will take you up a hill toward The Sacre Coure Cathedral. On your way up you can even stop for a pint of Guiness. Once at the top of the hill, which looks down on much of Paris, you can simply gaze at the twinkling lights below.
