    Once I visited the Louvre Museum in the evening. At wednesday and friday the museum is open till 9.45pm. I had a interesting visit and saw a nice selection of the archaeological parts with artefacts from the Assyrian, Egyptian, Greeke and Roman culture and I went to some galleries with the famous paintings like the Mona Lisa and other masterpieces of art.

    When I came out of the museum in the dark the pyramid and the fountain, looked wonderful with all the lights. So if you have not enough time during the day, you can go the Louvre Museum in the evening !

  • Nightlife Spot: Arc de Triumphe

    In Paris I always like it walking a lot through the city during the day. But If I am not too tired, I continue to walk in the in the evening as well.

    When it's getting dark, it's wonderful to see all the lights in the city of light. All monuments and landmarks in Paris are beautifully illuminated, like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triumphe. specially the Eiffel Tower has sparkling lights around 10pm.

  • Nightlife Spot: Champs Elyssées

    There are so many lifely places in Paris, where you can enjoy the city of light in the evening. One of the first times in Paris I did the obliged walk along the very known Avenue des Champs Elysees in the evening. At that moment the atmosphere is totally different from the day.

    Along the avenue itself and in its area are a lot of shops, boutiques and (fastfood)restaurants. One of my favourite dinners I had in the Lebanese restaurants 'Fakhr El Din' south of the Champs Elysees (at the Rue Quentin Bouchart nr.3, metro Georges V).

    Seine: Paris Plage

  • Nightlife Spot: Seine

    Not only during the day, but also in the evening Paris Plage is a lifely place to go. Lots of people are strolling along the Seine or sitting at the low walls or in the sand, bringing their drinks and snacks.

    At many places there is live music, especially drumming and dancing. Mostly African drumming, but I heard and saw Middle Eastern drumming as well. I enjoyed to walk and sit there for a while and listen to the music. Close to the bridge at the Hotel de Ville it was very crowded around the drumming group, but walking in the direction of Palais du Louvre it was lifely, but now really crowded.
