Moulin Rouge and other Paris, France Nightlife Tips

Nightlife Spot: Moulin Rouge

Night life In Paris
When planning an evening out in Paris, it is more important to decide where to go than what to do. The Champs-Elys?es and Trocad?ro areas are full of tourists and overpriced nightspots, but if wishing to impress, may be worth considering.
Pigalle is the seedy sex centre of Paris but home to some good music venues and the Moulin Rouge cabaret, where the cancan is still performed. Montmartre is heaving in summer but the views over Paris from Sacr?-Coeur are unbeatable.
Bastille is buzzing with bars and clubs but is a bit too hectic for some. The best area for an evening's caf?-hopping is the Marais district, (also the centre of the gay scene), closely followed by the increasingly fashionable Oberkampf, which suits a younger crowd.

Theme: Nightclub
Dress Code: Discotheque and Night Club
Paris's nightclubs tend to be both expensive and exclusive - if you know someone who knows the ropes, you'll have an easier time getting through the door. Many venues host a specific soir?e on a given night of the week, so the party-hearty crowd is no longer faithful to just one club, for information about dates, look out for flyers in bars.
Techno, house, garage and latino are the popular sounds. 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 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
Directions: The 60 Doriis Girls, 1000 costums of feathers, shinestones and sequins, the famous French Cancan, the giant aquarium are expecting you in the most famous cabaret in the world.

Nightlife Spot: New Morning

So, you've made it this far and you're still wondering what this site is about. well, it's about paris stripped down to the butt-naked, bare essentials - just like the name suggests. but it's not about the paris you know. or at least you think you know.

we want to point out that there's more to paris than the kind of tourism the city is renowned for. if you've been up the tower and got lost in the Louvre, fair enough, but why would you want to come back and do the same thing again?

we want to tell you about the other stuff you can do like listen to music, go shopping, dance in clubs and drink in bars - culture made in paris, by paris, for paris. so this site is as much for the weekend vistor as for someone who lives here and knows the place inside out.

we want to show the real side of the city, not the one in the tarted-up tour guides or the glossy fashion rags. but that doesn't mean it's rebellious, bolshie, defiant or alternative. that depends on your idea of what constitutes the norm. we think this is the norm, so sit back, relax, interact and get NAKED.
