Nightlife News for June 2010

In Paris nightlife news, the Chacha Club finally reopened on May 20th, Chez Moune in Pigalle reopened the end of last month, and Rasmus Michau (of Bagatelle party fame) opened an upscale karaoke bar near the Centre Pompidou called Le Renard. And despite the death of one partygoer at Le 1515 (he fell down the stairs), it’s still open…for now. The famous Dîner en Blanc takes place somewhere in Paris June 10th…even those who have been invited will only find out the moment they’re dropped off at the secret (and usually very public) location. Photos from the 2008 Dîner en Blanc.

One of the biggest parties of the month is Die Nacht à Bagatelle on June 5 (after Louis XIV's summer festival in the Tuileries on June 5, 1662). There will be shuttles from 9pm-4am from 33bis Ave Pierre Premier de Serbie (bus stop 32) to the Bagatelle gardens. The party starts at 11pm. To get on the list email: lanuit@die-nacht.fr

China Club becomes Le China

Le China
50 rue de Charenton

Tel: 01 43 46 08 09

The China Club was one of the hottest venues in the Bastille district for over 15 years when it closed in early 2008. But since then, it has been reopened under the ownership of Jean-François Roux (owner of Chez Janou by Place des Vosges). There is still a Franco-Asian fusion restaurant (not highly recommended from what I've read) and the fabulous Colonial-style Asian decor reminiscent of 1930s Shanghai, perfect backdrop for sipping cocktails with a hot date. Think black lacqueur, red velour, candle lighting, comfy sofas...

The Chin Chin Club, "salon dansant" downstairs continues to host live musicians and primarily music for slow dancing.

Open daily.
