Historic cellar-like underground jazz club in the Latin Quarter. Oozes atmosphere, reminds me of Audrey's beatnik dance scene in Funny Face. Actually a one time hotspot for post-war jazz, frequented by intellectuals and literati like Sartre and Boris Vian. Now an older crowd and a tamer, but satisfyingly classic taste. Mostly swing standards as I recall.

One of the more known "name" jazz clubs not only in Paris but in the world is Duc des Lombards. It has a cool ambience / decor, and the musicians are sometimes top notch.
Paris has lots of jazz clubs all over town. You can check Pariscope or just type "Paris Jazz Clubs" into google and you'll find them.
The excellent and now defunct Paris Jazz Valley web site:
Jazz Valley (RIP)
used to list them all in both english and french with much info. I'm looking for another link in both french and english.
If you exit Duc des Lombards after 12:30 am and the Metro is closed, you can get a taxi from the nearby Place du Chatelet by calling Pl. Châtelet Taxi - Phone: 01.42.33.20.99
Dress Code: no tie, but dress up same as in going out to a club anywhere.
Note:
Shows start at 9:30 pm, so locate where the taxi stands are, as the Metro may be closed when you leave the club.

There are some cool spots to listen to live jazz on r. Huchette and across ST. Michel to r. Galande. To go down into the "caves" where the air is smokey, the bierre froid, and le jazz hot is really cool. I don't know if they were real jazz musicians as they did not wear sunglasses when the played.

"Le Caveau des oubliettes" is the oldest Jazz Club in Paris. It was built on the site of an ancient Latin Quarter Dungeon, so you have to go down winding stairs into a Grotto-like cavern, decorated with old chains and even inscriptions on the walls of people that died there! The music is always excelent, some days is stand-up off the street improv which is amazing too. No cover charge, no dress code. Be sure to go DOWNSTAIRS and not to stay at the upper bar! Most tourists don't know this, that's why it is a typicall local's point.
Jazz is contemporary, none of the Gershwin old boring stuff you get at Caveau de l'Huchette nearby.
Dress Code: No dress code at all, no cover charge. You are required to drink, though. Beer=5 Euros. Bottles of wine at 12E.

This little bar on rue Mouffetard was a great find. Interesting mix of people, with a band playing in the back of the bar. This is the first place I'd ever seen a Mojito being made, and everyone was drinking them. Can't believe it took more than two years for this trend to take over the U.S.!

We were 3 17yr olds in Paris for 3nights. It took us two nights to find La Sorbonne- the student district of Paris. It buzzes at night- literally. There are bars and restaurants a-plenty and they're not over priced! I'd advise everyone to check it out! And as for the people who told us that young Parisians don't party! Mah!
Dress Code: You'd feel out of place if you were over dressed!
