Nightlife Around Avenue de Champs-Elysées
Clubs and bars around Champs-Elysées
You will often see nights at clubs listed as “parties” on the French tourism site and on flyers handed out on popular clubbing streets like the Champs Elysees. Do a little research before you hit a particular club. Some are gay-orientated, some straight-orientated.
Events and themes at these clubs can change on a nightly basis, but the scene is always about the same. Expect expensive drinks, pounding house and dance music and lots of people working on their moves on the dance floor.
Remember when going out you need to dress to impress. The better you look the most likely you will get past the random decisions of club bouncers. Also important to remember if male (or in a group of guys) that it will be more difficult to enter clubs, try to always have an equal male/female ratio
In Paris, the best clubs really don’t start filling up until after midnight, and they stay open until the sun is rising, just on tame to catch the first Metro back home at 5 in the morning.
