I went with a group of 7 girls (including myself) and 1 guy. We went to a club called le mix and on the spcific night they were hosting a party know to most study abroads in big cities as Erasmus. It is a group that hosts parties for mainly international student and study abroad students. If you get there before midnight you get in free with a student id (we however arrived about 10 min later than that). There was a line just like at any club but it went pretty fast. Also here when people go out at nigth they basically walk around with their drinks the whole night long. Until you go into a bar and have to throw it away. When we got on the metro there was no one but at the next stop there were about 10 german student who got on each carrying either a plastic cup of wine or a beer. Then at the next stop a group of French students got on singing a french drinking song, all we could make out was allez, they were also carrying around drinks, however, they just drank straight out of the bottle. Anyway, at the club were all students and if you get there after midnight cover is 15 euro which includes 1 drink which seems to be the going rate. There were students from everywhere; germany, france, america, canada, ireland, england, etc. But the thing that I thought made it really interesting were the can can dancers and the burlesque dancers who came out about every hour alternating. The can can girls danced to a famous french song and the burlesque dancers danced to moulin rouge by christina, pink, mya, and lil’kim. In the picture you can’t really tell but the burlesque girls were wearing rhinestone covered bras and panties with giant green feather headdresses and “tails”. We didn’t stay out til the sun came up but overall I think it was a good first experience of French night life.
