If you want to indulge in the pleasures of nightlife in Paris, there is nothing better than boogieing down to the thumping beat, tripping neon lights and the spirit of the promenade. The best DJs get you grooving and the clubs are palatial enough. If you want to follow crème de la crème of tinsel town, check out the VIP Room; and if you love, head to the Bus Palladium.
