Inside a converted cinema, this legendary nightspot is a mix of film, fashion, and music.

One of the city's choicest and liveliest gathering spots is the sophisticated Le Bar. There's an armchair-filled lounge and a tiny wine bar where you can sip your favorite cocktail or wine. Upstairs, Bar Anglais offers spectacular lake views from its clubby setting and terrace chaises.

Look for a range of styles at Le Chorus, a renowned jazz cellar that serves food and drinks.

Clubbers come from as far away as Zürich and Basel to hear their favorite DJs and live bands at MAD. On Sunday night, the club hosts a gay crowd.
