Must‑visit clubs and what they offer
Rex Club – The techno temple on the Left Bank. Doors usually open at 11 pm and cost €12‑€18 on weekdays, €20 on weekends. Dress is smart‑casual; avoid sportswear. For the best experience, arrive early for the resident DJ set.
Le Badaboum – A combo of club, bar and live‑music space in the 11th arrondissement. Entry €10‑€15, free before 1 am on Fridays. Trendy streetwear works fine, but don’t wear sneakers with visible logos. The rooftop terrace is perfect for a late‑night drink.
Silencio – Designed by David Lynch, this private‑club vibe attracts an artsy crowd. Entry €20‑€30, often includes a complimentary drink. Dress is upscale‑cocktail; think blazer or dress, no denim. Reservations are recommended for special events.
L'Arc Paris – Luxury meets nightlife, right by the Arc de Triomphe. Door price €25‑€35, with a bottle‑service minimum if you want a table. Dress is high‑end chic – cocktail dress or sharp suit. The VIP area offers a view of the Eiffel Tower lights.
Le Showcase – Located under the Pont Alexandre III bridge, this venue mixes electronic beats with a stunning river backdrop. Entry €12‑€20, free before 2 am on certain nights. Smart‑casual attire is fine; avoid hats.
Practical tips for a smooth night
Buy tickets online when possible. Many clubs offer a 10‑15% discount for pre‑purchase, and you skip the long queue at the door.
Plan your transport. The Metro runs until about 1 am; after that, rely on night buses (N series) or rides‑hailing apps. Pick a club near a Metro line if you want an easy exit.
Keep cash handy. While most places accept cards, a small amount of euros speeds up the entry process, especially for the door fee.
Watch the dress code. A quick glance at the club’s Instagram or website will tell you if you need a tie, heels or can stay in sneakers. When in doubt, dress a step up – you’ll thank yourself at the door.
Stay hydrated. Paris clubs can be hot, and many venues serve water for free. Grab a bottle of water between drinks to keep the fun going.
Finally, respect the venue’s rules. Photo bans, no outside drinks, and a zero‑tolerance policy for aggressive behavior keep the night enjoyable for everyone. Follow these basics, and you’ll have a smooth, memorable night in Paris’s club scene.
