A city is beautiful at night. All the more so when it's one of the world's most beautiful capitals. When Paris, the city-museum, transforms itself into a city of light, it's a spectacle that never ceases to amaze Parisians, old and new alike! So, to make the most of it, here are our top ideas for going out at dusk in the capital.
From the Place de la Bastille to the quays of the Seine, via the Pigalle district, the end of the day is always lively in the various arrondissements of Paris. And if Thursday and Friday evenings are the preferred days for those with a festive spirit, the whole week is alive with the rhythms of noisy bars and clubs, artistic nocturnes in the city's museums or evenings with unusual concepts! Chic or relaxed, in nightclubs or under the stars, the capital has it all!
