In-Depth Information
In Paris, the truly
branché
(plugged in) crowd changes its
preferences seemingly with the wind, but whichever the wind,
it does not start blowing until late.
Boites
(discotheques) are
popular, but not before midnight, and dancing can last until
dawn. Many clubs impose a cover charge, often including
the first drink (
consommation
). If not, the first drink can be
expensive. Occasionally entrance fees are waived and some
clubs distribute free-entry coupons around town.
