Chez Michou (1): A gay place

    Michou : merci, merci

    At the entrance, the greeting is made by Michou : always dressed with a clear blue blazer, glasses large as a wind screen. You cannot miss him : he repeats "merci" (thanks to make me so rich because his club is full every night since 1956). To be there you must reserve at least 2 WEEKS before and for the week end 2 months. But it is a real show of the Parisian life (I mean not as the Moulin Rouge which is a real tourist trap). The price : 95 euros for the dinner and the show. If you are too late to reserve, take a ticket through an agency for only 152 euros (!!!!) I have been surprised by the size of the room : 70 square meters with enough place to put 100 people. Smaller, it is a phone booth. Take care : there is a table in front of the entrance from which you cannot see the stage and you attend the show at the TV (in this case, the best way is to buy the DVD). TO BE CONTINUED ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE

    I was invited by my former admin who had just come into an inheritance (I told that to my current one to motivate her). The dress code is casual but some people have the tie (me for example) but take into consideration : - you will be packed together the other people - you will not dance (no place enough). The French people who are there have generally something to celebrate (often a birthday) and want to have real good time.

    Chez Michou is the Mecca of transformism. The singers are all men but imitate feman singers or artists (Brigitte Bardot, Chere, Dalida certainly the best copycat, Milene Farmer, etc...). The show begins around 10 PM by a young singer a bit agitated who seems blocked by the tiny stage. The the real performance begins just after with the Michette, such as the gay singers who are all overwhelming. The music is recorded : no place to put a musician. The show is over at 1AM. No sex, no vulgarity.

    Do not miss : - a camera : it is allowed and if you forget it Michou can sell you one (what a businessman) - a fan : it can be bought chez Michou and signed by the singers.

    Inside this spacious haven of calm, elegance, and courtesy, there’s no need for music. Every detail contributes to the very unique ambience: low words almost whispered, British accents, the regular sounding of the Westminster clock, the rattle of ice cubes in the cocktail shaker, the odor of cigars. And, last but not least, the "Franglais" chatter of the hilarious Colin, the most fascinating bartender in all of Paris. He was also voted "The World's Greatest Bartender" in Forbes in 2001. I have his book, "The Cocktails of the Ritz Paris" and I recommend it highly. It's a good read which tells the history of the Bar Hemingway and of the origins of some of the world's most famous cocktails. He also includes the original recipes of these drinks but also many are of cocktails which he has invented himself. The Bar Hemingway also carries a lot of Colin's personal touch in the setting, namely the bookshelves and leather armchairs. His specialties are named after both famous writers and loyal clients. Suffice to say that Colin makes the ambience, whipping up cocktails on order and pleasantly conversing with the ladies. He is, with his colleague Johan, the ringleader of this special place, where literary and media types, lawyers, and business people meet up under the portraits and caricatures of writers hanging on the walls: Proust, Malraux, and, of course, the bar’s eponymous star, who floats around like an indiscreet phantom. For cocktails, count on spending around 15€.

    Dress well. Casual but 'chic' is okay.

    A spectacle of magic with a diner. The performance is on a boat on the Seine. 50 euros tax include (37 euros in August). You must arrived around 7:30 / 8:00 PM to dinner on the boat (under a glass roof) with view on Notre Dame (when the boat is quai de Montebello). The food is average but include a wine pitcher. All the boat cruises pass there and you can choose your next attraction : a cruise on River Seine, according to the speed of the boats. The performance begins at 9:30PM in a AC hall in the hold. A magician and his 3 assistants present their act during 1:30. Simple and pleasant but not a very high level. In French but the magician translates some words in English. A good performance if you have kids. You are not obliged to dinner but we notice the first ranks is given to the spectators who have the dinner...

    Each year, the 21st June, for the shortest night of the year, Paris lives in music. Each district organizes several free musical spectacles. Every style is represented : modern, rock, religious, classical, musette, etc... This femal singer sings modern songs about religion.

    This place was our fourth and last stop of the evening, after visiting Le Duplex, Badridine decided we needed to visit one more place. Firas, Mel, Vincent, Badridine and myself packed ourselves in Badridine's car and made our way to this club. I am not sure what the entrance fee is (we didn't pay), as Badridine, like all the other places he takes us to, knows the bouncers, front guys and everyone there is to know in the club scene . We were greated with nice smiles, and of course VIP treatment. Drinks (Champagne for me please) were also complimentary. The place is quite large, with a nice dance floor, disco ball on the ceiling, great bar and lounge like seating throughout the club. The place was packed with partygoers enjoying the funky mix of 70's 80's and 90's disco music.

    Club wear, jeans, smart attire

    French songs from 9PM to 2AM. Price : 24 € (including the 1st drink) Following drinks : +7 € & 6 € Students : 17 € Close on Monday

    No dress code here. Only the history of the cabaret. It exists since 1860. Its first name was the "Cabaret des Assassins" because of a painting showing a murder of a serial killer : Troppman. In 1880, it was named "Le lapin Agile" (The Agile Rabbit) as a joke because the painter, Gill, made a picture on the wall with a rabbit leaping from a saucepan and it was said : it is "le lapin à Gill" (Gill's rabbit). A copy of the painting is still in exibit. Roland Dorgeles and his friends set up here a huge trick. They tied a brush to the tail of a donkey which realized some modern paintings (especially, A Sunset on the Adriatic) and they sold them as made by a new painter : BORONALI (the anagram of Aliboron, the name of the donkey). The specialized critics found the work "very interesting". Here, Picasso paid a lunch with the "Arlequin". You would pay less.

    As part of my BIG birthday celebaration Geisha_Girl put together a birthday bash here at Barrio Latino. This is restaurant with four floors a bar and nightclub. The wait staff pushed around a glass covered trolley where they dispense snacks from. The first and third floors are dance floors with its own blend of funky Latin sounds. The second floor is a restaurant catering to Latin dishes and the top floor is a combination nightclub where you can find the VIP section. Christian managed to get us the VIP Key. We had a lovely section up on the fourth floor with our own dance floor and the dj spinning a mix of dance traxs. We ordered a large tray of tapas and of course I had my Mojito!! Yum.

    Celebrating my birthday with a
    special friend!!

    This club is FANTASTIC!! Okay, I must admit I am a bit biased and that is because my close friend's best friend works as a bouncer here and every time I'm in Paris I'm invited as a VIP Guest with free entrance, chamapagne or anything I'd like to drink. As you approach the street level entrance you feel like you're walking down a Metro station. The place is HUGE and has three levels of dancing. Each level plays its own music with one level playing hip hop, the other plays techno and one (I think) plays new wave. Whatever the mood you're in, you'll definitely have a great time. Come early, I've noticed the lines get really long!!

    What I've noticed is that the dress is club wear, whatever you'd wear at any club goes here...No sneakers though (didn't see anyone wearing them)!!
