Fun and entertainment Paris 18th 75018

Over the last few years, Madame Arthur, initially known for her incredible transvestite shows, has gradually expanded her range of possibilities, to the point of becoming a must-see on Parisian nights. In keeping with the spirit of the place - now associated with the Divan du Monde - we offer you unique evenings: a colorful (and above all, talented) show, followed by a blind-test (Fridays and Saturdays), a singing tour (Thursdays to Saturdays) and finally a clubbing evening with all the French references of yesterday and today.

Warm, or boiling, is the atmosphere of the Magnum dancefloor! Completely energetic, completely sensual, the black and white public lâche lâche over everything that makes good its Afro-African: rap, become, zouk, décalé, house… Excellent dancers give themselves to this address. Take a drink and sit down and watch the demonstration! The good atmosphere is guaranteed. Revellers don't love rap and hip-hop will do better to continue their path.

Open since 1875, it's Montmartre's oldest cabaret, long frequented by the greats: Picasso, Braque, Modigliani, Derain, Utrillo, Apollinaire... In the evenings, in a place steeped in history, it's the wake of artists bursting with talent and generosity, perpetuating the tradition. The air here has become rare in the city, even on the Butte, so dear to the hearts of the old-timers. The place, which claims to be the "living conservatory of French song", has a point. A timeless evening guaranteed!

How to say? The Corridor is a bit of the last chance on the Pigalle side. The Infatigables's infatigables are getting there at no time, to drink a last drink, and they are still hours later. Everyone is frankly ecstatic, and it talks more right, but it talks! The ground floor is indeed a kind of corridor. In the basement, if the adventure tries you, it's more trash, downright underground, more unexpected. We go to spend a night away from the sanitized places. We're in Pigalle and the place still kept the sexy side of the neighborhood. To discover!

L'Olympic attracts a joyful and youthful clientele. For some years now, it has animated this multicultural Goutte d'Or neighbourhood as a dynamic square open to everyone. We will happily gather around a drink so as to enjoy ourselves in a very simple setting, former ballroom of the early century. Concerts take place almost every night in the basement, based on a programming which is cosmopolitan and really punchy. It's contemporary, unique, fresh and conducive to exceptional discovery. A true place of cultural mixing far away from the stuffy atmosphere of some bars in the capital, here we dance, live, laugh, and make the heart of the Olympic beat with smile and casualness!

Leave the beaten and tired trails of Pigalle and Abbesses to discover this bar, if not this rare pearl. Because the universe of Marlusse and Rabbit, it's kind of like falling back into the history and cozy atmosphere of our ancient ones, the passion of young people. An old-fashioned wallpaper, old portraits at the walls, a large layer with head and bed turned into double seat, a former hotel counter transformed into a range, all this participen to make this place an unusual place. Add to this user friendliness, humour keys and servie flots flots, and there, you will not find old… uh better! Special mention to the servers of the place that can offer their tour as soon as they can, when the attendance is not too strong (quite rare, even on Sunday!). The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Kept almost secret, from the hustle of Clichy, it is a privileged place of calm and greenery, ideal for a moment to relax, eat or entertain in front of a good cup of tea. The establishment has two separate spaces: a small, gently coloured library and a winter garden dining room where materials such as bricks, parquet floors and Art-Deco tiles combine with care. On the map, in addition to a careful traditional cuisine, there is an impressive selection of wines and spirits, including some rums or arranged rums. And if the novices have trouble deciding on the glass of wine to taste, the map shows for each of its properties.

No matter how busy you've been all day in the neighborhood - browsing the fabric markets, souvenir stores or climbing up and down the countless steps to Sacré-Coeur - sitting at the table in this tea room won't be a luxury too dear to you. Located on the first floor of the Halle Saint-Pierre, a Baltard-style museum dedicated to art brut, it's an island of calm and clarity that you're sure to appreciate.

Isolated in the little street André-Antoine, and yet not far from the dashing place Pigalle, this bar, in the retro climate, with skaï benches and red tables in Formica, will satisfy your, wishes of rock (and circus why not). What's more normal when you stick to his name, inspired by the Stones of the Stones of 1968 or a mythical place in Paris 70 where Jim Morrison spent his last night. In the room or on the walls, the game's full-blown right from a carnival, the portrait of a clown troupe or the vintage pages of Anglo-Saxon music magazines, will express the warm psychedelic atmosphere of the house.

You know singer Zaza Fournier, or "Zaza in the subway" (or almost), now you have to count in Paris on Le Zaza Bar! Sweet Andalusian smells come from this establishment reminiscent of New York bars. In the program, of course, zazapunch which is a classic: rum, exotic fruit juice (fruits of passion, mango, guava) and spices (vanilla and/or ginger). This is a real delight! Cocktails are also successes, not counting on plates made up of cod and black icing accras! Thank you Lady Zaza!

Drink with Lenin and Stalin? You can't tell me… unless you go to the bar Le Kremlin! In this red atmosphere, the colour of the golden era of the USSR, you will indeed admire many portraits of the two emblematic figures of the Soviet era. In the basement, a foot and figurines adorn this place, thus paying homage to a bygone era. Of course, you have to taste two or three vodka shots in the bar, you have 45 possibilities! The cocktails are also à la carte, at the "communist" prices. To discover, therefore, whether or not we share certain left-wing ideologies…

L'Etoile du Nord offers theater and dance performances, as well as a program of music, dance and theater for young audiences. It is resolutely oriented towards contemporary creation, but also towards young audiences. Formerly the Théâtre Paris-Nord, the venue opened for a time in the 1970s and was taken over a decade later under the name Dix-Huit Théâtre. Finally, in 1997, the venue was renamed L'Etoile du Nord.

The top in which we can attend shows since 2005 is a former ballroom, which once turned from village to village in eastern France. It is made of wood skated over time and is covered with windows. The programming of the Grand parquet makes the most of the forms of theatre, music, tales and dances from all over the world. The young public is particularly well served. This place is supported by the town hall of the 18 th and the Ile-de-France region.

The Manufacture des Abbesses was created in 2006. It is a-square room where contemporary theatre writers are defended, both comical and dramatic. The main criterion for selecting shows is that the story they tell is strong and original. Moreover, the Manufacture undertakes to multiply the creations. Presenting for the first time a story to its audience is its first desire, its raison d'être. It is a place we love, which perfectly reflects the soul of Montmartre. True more than this room: its comfort!

A former warehouse for the costumes and equipment of the Workshop Theatre, this sixty-basement hall has been host to innovative shows since 1984 and readings. Led by Alain-Alexis Barsacq, it lies at the end of the small impasse at the end of Charles-Dullin Square. Workshops and internships are proposed. This place is extraordinary, because it seems to belong to another era. Paul Golub says of him: " It is a place of resistance, creativity, transmission, sharing, and like Atalante in Greek mythology always ahead of its contenders! " Well said!

A mecca for French-language chanson, created in 1947 by Jacques Canetti, the venue offers two hundred and fifty seats on two levels, as well as work areas, a restaurant, a bar and a foyer. To ensure perfect soundproofing, the hall is "enclosed" in a caisson set on stilts. As for the programming, it returns to the origins of Les Trois Baudets. The spotlight is on song, with emerging talents from the French-speaking scene, those who find themselves in the middle of the road, between making do and a real career.

Contrary to what its name implies, this establishment does not have a jazz club, but Jazz' o' Brazil. You can however listen to Brazilian artists, which are numerous to come and go in Paris, sometimes to sit some time there or to stay in it. Since 2001, Blue Note settled in the 18th district after flaming for several decades rue Mouffetard. Note that this place popular weekend is privatized for your birthday and festivals.

This address has the user-friendly charm of a pub. A few steps from Montmartre, this friendly location is ideal for listening to good music.

Not gay but a reference of the cabaret transformiste in Paris. From the top of its x spring (we don't reveal the age of a lady…), Michou is always sémillant, and it always likes to welcome its customers! The frame is tiny, a little dark but lit by the dozens of photos of Michou and the stars he received in his den. Compulsory booking, as many tourists as they came into the group and abroad. The evening begins with dinner, served by artists-michettes, but in the attire of a theatre boy. The base remains mediocre but we do not come to this: a show of more than two hours on a poche, funny even so old: Moreau, Mathieu, Aznavour, Cher, Farmer, Madonna, Vartan, Bardot and many other gay icons, the program varies according to evening, with also live songs from Dalida and Wee Jeanmaire, the participation of the room. If you do not dine, you can just see the journal (55 € without drinks, 60 € with a drink). After all, this is the best place to see the show, why not in love. Michou is not there every evening, but when he is there, he papillonne table and mute the old adage: " We don't have twenty years of age "! Unforgettable…

This brewery is made by or for beer lovers. Behind the counter, no less than 15 draught beers, including one made on site. Of course, here we rely on advice, and the team will not lack enthusiasm or good ideas to share these delicious beverages with you. The place is wooded, warm and the greenery on the ceiling does not take anything away from this atmosphere, around a bar in an arc of a circle. The LBF - its nickname - also offers beer breweries to come and take over the bar for a specific period of time, a bit like when a DJcomes for a set. And then you can accompany your moment here with some nice things to snack on. Very good point.

La station is first and foremost a party place like few others in Paris: here you can shout in the open air (we won't disturb anyone), sing, dance until late, listen to loud music, and above all, excellent music. Yes, the program is excellent: sharp but festive, eclectic and emerging, a whole scene is blossoming here. The collective - which, let's not forget, has signed an agreement with the SNCF - also offers artists residencies.

A nice stopover, born of the imagination of two friends, Marie Genet and Clémentine Touton, and which works so well that it has a second establishment in the 17th. The principle: a place thought like a little cocoon, in which you feel good immediately. Light colours and wood are the main materials used, and it is indeed very successful. You come here to eat good, healthy food, but also to have a fresh fruit juice (because here you say - and you are - healthy). You can also enjoy a Spritz cocktail that you can take in summer on the bench on the pavement. It's not wide, but it's a great idea.

It's one of the new spots on the Parisian cocktail scene, in a neighborhood that until now hasn't been the best for cocktails. The name? Candid! Unique, the place has been imagined as a throwback to the 1960s, to the so-called " Space Age ", i.e. the period of the conquest of space - we won't tell you more! The cocktails on offer range from classics to original creations, with or without alcohol, and include a snack bar and cocktail bar. Festive atmosphere guaranteed: we love it!

Well-known in northern Paris, the Recyclerie is an unusual place where a restaurant, a bar, a repair shop, a garden, an aquaponics greenhouse and numerous workshops and events come together. Come and enjoy an aperitif, a drink on the terrace or a tapas, for example. Later in the evening, you'll appreciate the house cocktails. A place we love, but one that has unfortunately cut back on its opening hours: it's now open from Friday to Sunday...

An institution, which does not change and which does so much good: to those who do not know it, the Tagada Bar is worth at least a visit, and much more! This small, colourful place, run (perhaps we should say animated) by Jean-Mi and Max, is a small nugget of warmth and friendliness. People come to drink a glass (special mention to the drinks concocted on the spot, and to the selection of small wines from producers), and many also revel in some nice plates with friends, tapas or nice snacks that are also tasty. The recognizable red front is just waiting for you, and the terrace, on sunny days, is a must-see in the south of the hill!
