Fun and entertainment Paris 2nd 75002

The Opéra-Comique, founded under Louis XIV, is one of the oldest institutions of its kind. In 2005, it became one of 6 national theaters, and in 2015, it celebrates its 300th anniversary! In 1783, the first Opéra-Comique was born, mixing opera, ritornello and farce. Ruined twice, it was the third venue, opened in 1898, that contributed to the fame of works such as Bizet's Carmen . Since the end of 2021, conductor Louis Langrée has been at the helm, with a program in keeping with the "Favart spirit", combining classical and new works.

Classified as a historical monument, it is a giant cinema with seven theatres. Opened in 1932 by Jacques Haïk, the Rex was an immediate success with its luxurious decoration, its 2,000 m² and its starry-vaulted ceiling culminating at over 30 m. A word of advice: attending a blockbuster preview in this room, especially if the film is in 3D, will give you the impression of being a privileged one. The quality of the projection is exemplary. But the Grand Rex is also a place where concerts and musicals are presented that can fill a hall with more than 2,700 seats on three levels. A museum and a discotheque complete the vast complex.

After the discreet facade, you will see a large silver counter with a few tables. What's more customary, you'll say, so far. But let's go a little bit, let's go to curiosity and you will finally discover, at the bottom of the room, a pleasant garden floor, with fountain and water jets. A blessing to enjoy a drink or nibble in the neighborhood. Yet the surprise of this place does not stop there. It is in the attractive and large basement room, open on a large and wide glass bay behind which a waterfall runs, that you will most probably was. Here you sing, dance, you dredge, because Le Biz offers many evenings. If on Monday evening you will see the famous karaoke, Wednesday is reserved for the singles, and this time you'll be told, this time, you speed-date at all-go (compulsory registration at www.softdating.com). The rest of the time, let's make DJ's, they will always be there to make you dance.

The Kiosque Théâtre, located on the Place de la Madeleine (west side of the church), offers highly discounted tickets for most current shows, from national theaters to cabarets and cafés-théâtres. We strongly advise you not to wait until the last minute: while there are hundreds of plays to discover, crowds are particularly high, especially at weekends.

The composer Jacques Offenbach is the pere of this very lovely dining area to Italian. Les Bouffes Parisiens are initially installed in 1855 in Carré Marigny, on the Fields-Élysées. One year later, they migrate towards passage Choiseul. Offenbach creates Orphée with the hells there, before yielding its theater in 1862 to its orchestra conductor, Louis Varney. This one made shave the room to build some another, equipped with thousand hundred places. Specialized in the lyric shows, primarily of the operettas, Puff out them Parisian present works of Emmanuel Chabrier, Louis Viarney (Musketeers with the convent), Robert de Flers, Claude Terrasse. At the beginning of the 20th century, the operetta yields the step to the theater with the creation of rooms of Henry Bernstein and Sacha Guitry (Let us do one dreamed), before returning to the light kind which made its glory - Phi-Phi, of Albert Willemetz and Henri Christiné. Willemetz takes over the leadership of the room and obtains an enormous success with Dédé, played by Maurice Chevalier. Dranem, Guitry, Michel Simon, Arletty, Pauline Carton, Elvire Popesco, then Yves Robert, Danièle Delorme are the large stars of Puff out Parisian in the decades which follow. In 1986, Jean-Claude Brialy takes again the reins of the theater, until its death which has occurred in 2007. The direction is now ensured by Dominique Dumond. Theater, only in scene, song and shows young people divide the poster.

Red velvet, drapes, golden frames and old chandeliers: this place created at the bottom of a court in 1993 is decorated in a baroque way. It's mainly used for private events, but we regularly serve a rich auditorium of comics, including Wednesday evening for Les Oscars du Laughter. The following went: Jean-Luc Lemoine, Thierry Samitier, Fabrice Eboué, Willy… The famous singers are not the same: Werewolf or Natacha Saint-Pierre also foulé the planks of this place which made one (pre) name in the capital.

In a quiet street in the Montorgueil district, Jefrey's offers withdrawal and voluptuousness. Some very cosy armchairs, the magnificent grey sofa to share with two, the alignment of the bottles in the window... We're waiting for you! The barmen are virtuoso, they will serve you cocktails that will make you take off, before leaving at wolf's pace. You will be tempted by the original cocktail creations or by the rich menu with a beautiful selection of whiskies from the main Scottish and international distilleries, fine spirits (some bottles are rare) or even aperitifs, wines and champagnes.

The main arcade of 1,500 square meters in the center of Paris - it is said to be the largest space in Europe - is the meeting place for gamers. Whatever their age (although the majority of the clientele is young), they all come here to try out the simulators and interactive video games, of which there are dozens. Among those, car games, motorcycles, aviation, space shuttles, some in 4D or 3D, virtual sports challenges... There are also network games and an "Eat & Drink" feature to enjoy.

We stop right away! True sake is not a digestive but a light and diversified rice alcohol with aromas from rose to litchi. Youlin Ly, one of the specialists in this beverage, created this 500 m ² house in the Etienne Marcel neighborhood. He brought over 100 references of his travels to Japan, which can be drunk cold, hot or even sparkling. Traditional sake is drunk during meal, cold or hot, in small glasses. The modern sake is rather fresh, in glasses on foot. It is possible to accompany his glass with a typical dish from Chief Makoto Inoue: sancho, sancho (grilled chicken), or niku udon (beef noodles).

Escape Hunt is a network ofescape games that adapts to the cities in which it operates.

Special mention goes to the well-crafted set design and life-like finishing touches. Reservations essential!

From its construction in 1925 - architect: Auguste Bluysen - this theatre has preserved an Art-Deco aesthetic.

Yvonne Spring, Pierre Fresnay, François Citéa, Francis Perrin, Roland Giraud, Charlotte de Turckheim played. Among the authors who attended their work are Edouard Bourdet, André Roussin, Jean Anouilh, Marcel Achard and Françoise Dorin. The Michodière is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the boulevard theatre.

The best sound in Paris, some will tell you, and not just because it's inveterate electro and house fans who have been worshipping this mythical temple for over twenty years. But a lot of them. Few clubs can boast of having accompanied the debut of Laurent Garnier and Manu le Malin... To welcome all the best of this scene and beyond, from Carl Cox to Miss Kittin, Bjork and so many others. In short, a cutting-edge program with one of the best sound system installations in the world.

In a cosy atmosphere, all of red and black, the K 1 ZE is ideal for before and afterworks. You will be offered a different evening each evening of the week.

Imagine what an American pub can offer in tribute to the legendary co-founder of the Métallica group, guitarist and singer James Hetfield. It's quite simple, on the one hand, fans of sports retransmissions who enjoy giant screens, and on the other, followers, among other songs, from nothing else matters. Are you afraid of a mixed mix? And yet, the space is quite large and the atmosphere pretty good child so that everyone here benefits from its evening and its pint at lower costs.

Small coffee, right next to Killiwatch, in the stylish shopping area. Attended by a whole bunch of very connected people who find themselves here before going out, Le Café could be terribly unbearable and enough to see me. And not at all. With its th century déco and cabinet cabinet, this is one of the most pleasant addresses in the area. There's a mêle of mappemondes, pretty ladies, African statues, gorgeous cute kids, old maps of géo in elementary school, buried butterflies… All under the high patronage of the bacchanale fresco that orne the ceiling. We are welcome, we eat traditional cuisine. The terrace is perfect for watching the hand bags and other shopping bags that leave the area.

This is a bar you love. Under its appearance as a great Celtic pub, it hides a maxi temple of pop, mini club free of charge, where the prestigious and inventive DJs - Bloc Party, Pulp, Belle & Sebastian have passed. Fans of New Order, Franz Ferdinand, The Rapture, you are here at home. Two rooms separated by the bar are the place. On the entrance side, we're standing up around the bar or sitting in front of the projections of the day, in the middle of a large proportion of the regulars, pretty young and lookés pop. On the other side, we're dancing in front of the DJ's cab to beg to pass its favorite piece, it looks like the London subway at peak times, the music is in addition. There are numerous evenings and frequent concerts. The Truskel is just one of the best pop/rock bars in the capital.

100% naturist, the rule may surprise first, especially when the doorman gives you a plastic bag to store your business! But the reception is very comfortable in this small but welcoming bar. We drink a glass and talk on the ground floor because customers are first easy. No worries, you won't put your hands on the package directly, nor will you measure your manhood by trying to measure the size of the object of the crime - delight. And then it's pretty nice to sip an orange vodka in the ass!
In the basement, large mattresses, sling, alcoves, minilabyrinthe, what had fun with one or more comrades. Quite hétéroclite clientele. There are for all tastes but you never get bored!

Creating a night bar without going through the beauf or confusing box is possible, The Next is proof. Stéphane and David have already been there for more than seven years, but time passes so quickly over the nice holidays and the latest glasses on Aurélien's nice mix that you don't see years passing. The Next is a concept with its three rooms on two levels, its vaulted cellar has seen dozens of anniversaries and lively but casual evenings. Once you're down you understand why you call the place the front, except that often we stay there until the end of the night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Music programming is different every night. Only small defect that resembles ransom: the place is narrow, so we are quickly disturbed by the incessant passages. The smoking is also hard for the lungs. But the next one is a convivial place that you love to go to.

A real piano bar with a creamy deco: mahogany and red stripes and beige where one can listen to live music in the evenings. On the ground floor, the jazz is featured around the grand piano. Downstairs, in the vaulted room, genres succeed one another: bossa nova, funk, Latino... for the delight of the dancers. For nocturnal meals, a traditional and pleasant cuisine is being served. Do not be impressed by the quick reception. The staff is very friendly when the place is not crowded. But it is quite busy on weekends...
