Nightlife in Paris

Forget about the techno parties in Berlin or the giant open-air clubs on Ibiza, in the capital of France you can party all night long. The Paris nightlife scene is not to be missed. Le Marais is one of Paris' most lively areas where you find many bars and nightclubs recommended by Paris locals. Also popular with the Parisian youth are the local pubs around Bastille. Rue de Lappe is a well-known street where you can party like a Parisian until the early hours of the morning. Or head to the area around République, in particular Rue Oberkampf, one of the trendiest nightlife districts in Paris.
