To party: Le Silencio, La Planque, and La Fête

Silencio is the go-to spot to party during Fashion Week. Founded in 1969 by filmmaker David Lynch, the club still gathers creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs from around the world for stylish nights out. A bold music scene, a place for dancing, performances, screenings, exhibitions, and parties. A hub of avant-garde sheltered from prying eyes.

142 Rue Montmartre, 75002 Paris

A legendary night bar on Rue de Rivoli, La Planque, well hidden in the basement, offers a captivating setting reminiscent of the 1950s. The venue is a real social hub where young people crowd in to dance until dawn. Furthermore, the bar is labeled as "safe" with several measures in place to ensure everyone’s safety, such as a code word to say in case of discomfort or danger, trained staff, and security guards inside and outside. The DJ sets appeal to a discerning crowd, especially during Fashion Week.

130 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris

La Fête nightclub on Place de Clichy is the favorite spot of twenty-somethings looking for a more laid-back vibe. The space recalls Parisian clubs from the 80s-90s, with eclectic music and a just-as-diverse crowd. Led by Youssef Chraibi, Tom Guez, and Dorion Fiszel — the trio behind the buzz around the ephemeral Bisou — the venue masterfully combines friendliness and festive spirit. Beware, the free entry attracts quite the crowd.
