11Pm isn't late. Walk - bus - taxi - metro -- whichever one(s) you'd use during the day.

Yes, no problem. Not all of the bus lines run after 9pm but most of them run until half past midnight. The metro runs until 1:15am (2:15 on Fridays and Saturdays). During the night, there are numerous night buses (Noctilien) for people who need to get around.

If you are going to be there in the summer then it's only just properly dark at 11pm. We have walked in Paris at that time of the night and felt very safe.

Kerouac can you advise on taxis? From memory you need to find a taxi stand rather than hail one that is driving past??

You can hail a taxi unless you are within 50 meters of a taxi stand. That's to prevent cheaters from hailing taxis "upstream."
