my husband i will be in paris for 5 nights this july and are looking to go dancing now and again. we are americans in our early 40's(you know, the new 30's ) and enjoy a diversity of musical styles from '80's pop(obviously) to house/electronic, to good old fashioned jazz. does anyone have suggestions for a club or 3? QUEEN seems to be very popular and sounds a great time, but again, we are in our 40's and don't want to look foolish in the paris club scene-is this even possible???? thanks for any suggestions!

The Queen is reputed to attract a very young crowd.

Buddha Bar?

How about doing the Tango outside overlooking The Seine?

You may enjoy Caveau de la Huchette.
Their website is www.caveaudelahuchette.fr

There are also reveiw on trip advisor for this place.

Kerouac...what's the age range for the club area in the 10th?

All ages go to the places in the 10th and the 11th.

@all...many thanks for the quick replies...
@lynnaustin-wonderful, just wonderful, i love it!!!!

I would also suggest Caveau de la Huchette if you don't mind jazz, it's not going to be like a regular DJ dancing club, though. I know all ages are in there.

After that, I'd suggest maybe Batofar which is on a boat on the Seine in the 13th arr (near quai Mauriac, I think, not far from the new library). They might have a website like www.batofar.org

I know some popular clubs up in the 9th or Montmartre, but most clubs seem to be mainly young people, I think (meaning 20s), sort of goes with the territory.

@john-merci!!!!!

If you do a search here on 'Paris jazz', there have been a few threads on this topic with some recommnedations and websites.

@michel-great advice! i'm still new to fodors, thank's for opening a door!
