3 Months In Paris On Work
 

I am in Paris for 3 months for work until January. I go back home to Engalnd almost every weekend. So i only have the evenings to go out and see Paris .

does any one have suggestions for what I can do in Paris after 7pm?

Hi az,

Dinner is usually between 8:30 and 9:00.

usually it lasts a little longer than 1/2 hour.

Check ParisVoice or Pariscope to see what museums are open late (Louvre... d'Orsay?...)

Movies

Seine cruise

Eiffel when it's twinkling (on the hour)

Jazz clubs

Famous cafes and brasseries (Coupole, Lipp, Dome...)

Monoprix - most are open until 9pm; the one on the Champs is open later.

The view from Tour Montparnasse - you can stay indoors on the 56th and still see the panorama of Paris

I'm sure Ira was saying that dinner <i>begins</i> between 8:30 and 9:00 (not that you have to be done by 9:00 !)

The Musee D'Orsay is open on Thursday until at least 9. I think the Louvre may be open late one evening as well. I'm sure you can visit Notre Dame in the evening. There are concerts in many of the churches and there is always the opera at the Bastille or the ballet at the Opera Garnier.

Here is a recent thread entitled &quot;things to do in Paris at night&quot;....

I posted my fav night spot which is a jazz cellar in the Latin quarter,
Le Caveau de la Huchette!
I'll be back in November with my dancing shoes on!

Sorry, don't think that link was right.....but it would be about #13 on that list.

What do you do like to do at home in the evenings? YOu can probably do the same thing in Paris, except for there is not a lot of English-language theater.

If you are already in Paris, you really should learn about the weekly entertainment guides, as all you have to do is buy one and then look at everything to do to choose what you want. They list everything (museums, music, cinema, fine arts performances, etc.), with the exception of smaller venues might not be in there so much. If you are there three months, you probably know French or enough to make out the few words you need to decipher the guides.

I prefer l'Officiel des Spectacles myself, but others like Pariscope-- they are cheap so try different ones. Zurban has more info about clubs, popular neighborhoods, generally more a magazine about trendy things to do and places to go with a younger presentation. You would need French to get the most out of its articles, though. I don't like it as well as the others for a general weekly guide, however.
