This nightlife tip costs nothing. But it's worth alot in memories. Paris is not known as the 'City of Light' for nothing. At night the bridges and monuments along the Seine are lit up and it's just indescribable the beauty of the whole scene.
During the day the same bridges and monuments are beautiful but at night they undertake a different mood with the lights and the reflections in the water. From any bridge gaze over to the direction of the Eiffel Tower. Its beauty is so prominent wen it's lit up. Walking along the river and stop to gaze at them all. I guarantee you that they will mesmerize you and capture your heart forever. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Along the Seine

 Corcoran - Irish pub
Seamus & I had a Guinness by BeatChick,
2 more photos
It’s always nice meeting new friends in Paris and Seamus (can you get more of an Irish name than Seamus?) was a true gentleman and a great conversationalist. He made me promise that when Mr. Connolly and I visited Ireland that we’d come to visit his family because his father is a genealogy enthusiast and would love to help us with our Connolly roots.
While we were walking out on our way to find the site of the original Shakespeare & Co. I mentioned that Jack Kerouac lived nearby but I didn't have my notes with me. Little did I realize it was in the same building!
Later, I was looking for Jack Kerouac’s home in Paris (well, I’m not called the Beatchick for nothing) when I happened upon Corcoran, the Irish pub Seamus & I had a pint o' Guinness, the entrance to which was just around the corner! Awesome!! But also more amazing is that this bar was once called La Gentilhommiere where Jack enjoyed several nights drinking here as mentioned in Satori in Paris.
At Corcoran's they play traditional Irish music and during happy hour drinks are 5€ (see website below for complete list).

My friend and I explored the Latin Quarter during our last trip to Paris. We really loved all the little shops and many places to eat. Yes, a lot of the things for sale are touristy, so we didn't buy anything. The neighborhood was kind of cool and worth exploring. It was also nice to find some cheaper places to eat and we ended up in a little Greek seafood place. The restaurant was lively and the food was good. By 10pm, there was a female dancer prancing around sexily and the male crowds were happily clapping along with the lively greek music.
The Latin Quarter is known for its lively atmosphere and many restaurants and bistros. The Latin Quarter is an area on the left bank (south side) of the Seine, around the Sorbonne University. The name derives from the Latin language, which was widely spoken in the Middle Ages in and around the University. It has been the center of Paris's university life for over seven hundred years. It currently still houses various higher education establishments. Theme: Eating and DrinkingDirections: Across from Notre Dame any side street, Paris

Enjoy the evening by taking a great walk through some of the most beautiful areas of Paris. Starting at the Louvre, take a gander at the Grand Pyramid then proceed through the Jardin de Tuileries park to the Place de la Concorde. From there look down the Champs Elysee and you can see all the way down to the Arc de Triomph with the Eiffel Tower off to the southwest. The walk will take you maybe an hour or two depending on how often you stop to take photos - or how cold you are. *grin*
Comfort is the key here, so go with good walking shoes, a coat because the nights are sometimes brisk, and a map in case you get lost. Leave a Comment Theme: People WatchingAddress: Start at the LouvreDirections: Metro stop: Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre

 Nighttime in Paris by hoofhearted
Parisians dress well! It's not necessary to dress up with a coat and tie at most establishments, but it is part of the culture to "look good". Theme: People WatchingDirections: Montemarte

I sometimes have a tendency to get myself into weird situations.
One night on my first trip to Paris, well past midnight after "more than a few" drinks I was wandering alone from a Montparnasse cafe back to my hotel, when I accidentally took a wrong turn.
I ended up on this very bizarre street in the Montparnasse theater district: Rue de la Gaite.
It is populated with theaters, bistros, and a few strange little clubs/cabarets that are adult-oriented.
Suddenly out of the dark & from nowhere a thin, well-dressed Parisian man appeared and stepped in stride with me, speaking softly in french. Then without a word he gently pulled me by the arm into one of the clubs. In one of those spooky moments of surrender, without resistance or protest I let him guide me inside to a table.
- I'm not even sure the club he pulled me into was on Gaite
... it could have been one of the quieter "swing" joints on nearby Edgar Quinet
Looking around I noticed that other than myself, the place was virtually empty. A glass of red wine appeared on my table a few seconds later.
Women of all nationalities, 1-at-a-time, (some actually somewhat attractive) emerged from behind a curtain on a stage, sat down at my table & asked me if I wanted to sleep with them. (price was not mentioned)
Welcome to a misogynist hell of "Pimps Up... Hoes Down" - dans le modèle de Paris.
Saying "No" did not offend any of them, they would just smile, get up & leave, only to be immediately replaced by someone else.
This strange little comedy continued for 10 minutes:
- Girl # 7: "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi monsieur?" ...
or some equivalent ... hey ... I was hammered and a little preoccupied - I don't remember ...
- me.. "Non, merci madame."
- Girl # 7 "Merci monsieur...Au revoir"
next girl (#8)... rinse&repeat....
Eventually I finished my wine (there was no bill brought to the table... odd for a hustle-joint like this), got my bearings for the door, rose, stepped out of the club to the dark and empty Rue de la Gaite, and casually strolled back to my hotel.
The whole experience was both strange and funny, almost like a dream or a scene out of a late-nite "b" movie.

 Place Blanche by lohki
It really is a lively, tangled area of Paris and I wandered it often, alone... more often slightly under the influence of wine and/or sheer happiness.
Yes, there was interaction with local er "gentlemen".....
Were they saying rude and lascivious things to me in French?!
Mon Dieu.....
I sure hope so!
Chic, comfortable and with a scarf. Leave a Comment Theme: Adult SpotAddress: 18 eme
