Where to go out in Paris
The art of living until the end of the night
Wondering where to go out in Paris? Just a stone's throw from the lights of Montparnasse, the city reveals itself in all its excitement. Legendary cabarets, intimate venues, lively terraces, cocktail bars, clubs where you can dance until dawn... Every street corner seems to offer the promise of a party.
Let yourself be guided by the energy of the capital and create your own night out, combining iconic venues and local gems.
Parisian rooftops
How about changing your perspective? From the rooftops, the city unfolds in a different way: gentler, more open. Whether it's cocktails at sunset, Sunday brunch, or gourmet coffee, Parisian rooftops offer you a moment suspended beneath the clouds, with breathtaking views.
Montparnasse, a neighborhood that never sleeps
Under the neon lights of the facades, the names resonate like an invitation: Gaîté-Montparnasse, Bobino... Behind each door, a curtain opens onto a beautiful story.
Authentic bistros still serve generous portions, while on the terraces, conversations stretch out to the rhythm of clinking glasses. In the streets, the terraces come alive and cocktail bars invite you to prolong the night. The Montparnasse of artists is very much alive.
A theatrical outing
Looking for a cultural evening in a lively and friendly setting? The theaters of Montparnasse, in the heart of the artistic district, offer a stage rich in creativity and history. With a dynamic program throughout the year, they offer:
- comedies,
- dramas,
- contemporary creations.
Perfect for an original outing where culture and entertainment come together.
Comedy clubs
Humor is gaining ground and comedy clubs are popping up like mushrooms (in Paris). Le Paname, open seven days a week, brings together big names and up-and-coming stand-up comedians, with a program that is kept secret until the day of the show.
The more arty Madame Sarfati Comedy Club, conceived by Fary and designed by JR, offers an intimate experience where five comedians perform every night.
And to stay close to Montparnasse, head to Le Fridge Comedy, about a fifteen-minute walk from Villa Modigliani. In this cozy venue, launched by Kev Adams, you can enjoy a cocktail while watching a series of jokes. A friendly atmosphere with the best comedians and stand-up artists—it's in Paris where it's at!
A cruise on the Seine? For an evening to remember
Embark on a romantic dinner cruise on the Seine. Between refined gastronomy and a breathtaking view of Paris illuminated by the lights, time passes slowly as you cruise along the river. It has to be said that the Seine and the night are a great way to see Paris in a whole new light. Illuminated, the monuments are haloed by a timeless magic... That's why it's called the City of Light.
The Opéra Garnier
Looking for an exceptional evening in a sumptuous setting? The Opéra Garnier, a jewel of French heritage, is one of the two prestigious stages of the Paris National Opera, with a rich history spanning 350 years. However, this historic venue is evolving by opening up to new audiences, including young people. With more than 400 performances per year, it offers a varied program:
- ballets,
- operas,
- concerts.
Crazy Horse, sensual elegance
More intimate than the first on our list, this cabaret celebrates femininity with artistic shows combining sensuality and elegance. Perched on their shoes, the dancers mesmerise with sophisticated choreography. Their mouths, all identical, are drawn in scarlet. Only the wigs - electric blue, impetuous pink, platinum or sanguine - make any distinction, though these are quickly drowned out in a sea of glamour...
The legendary Moulin Rouge
Since 1889, the Moulin Rouge has embodied the spirit of festivity, glamour and elegance à la française. This emblematic cabaret, famous for its French cancan, offers dazzling shows, where dancers and glittering costumes transport spectators into a magical atmosphere. If you're looking for a moment of escape and pure magic, head for this symbol of Parisian chic and romance. So much so that the Americans have made a film about it starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor...
