Considered the third opera of Paris for its beauty and creativity, Chatelet produces all of its own shows and offers an inventive, eclectic programming which includes operas, operettas, musicals, dance and multimedia performances. It is even able to satisfy a wide international audience. From costumes to decorations, orchestration to composition, each step is carefully staged by the theatre’s staff. You will discover masterpieces of the Great American Songbook such as "Sunday in the Park with George" by Stephen Sondheim and other Broadway hits. The Theatre du Chatelet is not only the mecca of musical Paris, it also offers very specialised lyrical programming by highlighting unjustly neglected works as well as those of great young composers such as Alfano's Cyrano de Bergerac or contemporary dance with Benjamin Millepied’s L.A. Dance Project.
 
Chatelet, which opened in August 1862, celebrated its 150th anniversary of artistic creation in 2012.

A magnificent venue with its decoration from the Belle Epoque, papered with red velvet and typical burlesque frescoes, opens its doors for you to enjoy a dinner in the tradition of French gastronomy; refined dishes created by the famous Chef David Le Quellec, which are served with Champagne, the official drink of the Moulin Rouge. Awaken your senses: your taste with exquisite food and your eyes with the spectacular show! Admire a troupe of 60 artists from all around the world who perform in the legendary cabaret twice every evening in the show "Féerie". A spectacular show of 2 hours : feathers, rhinestones, glitter, sumptuous settings, acrobats, original music, international acts… and the famous French Cancan. "Féerie" an amazing show to be shared with your family, your friends or with your sweatheart! The Moulin Rouge, the promise of an unforgettable evening !

At first glance, nightlife in le Marais is mostly a gay scene…if you just have a quick look around rue des Archives and the corner of rue du Temple, it is indeed very masculine and very cruisy. But this is not the only way you can have fun in le Marais, a true cosmopolitan area where everyone can enjoy the pleasures of the night. There is a place for every type and every style….
Dining out, even as late as 5 in the morning, having a cocktail at anytime of night, dancing, meeting new friends or having devilish sex parties…whatever you desire, you can find it in le Marais. Here is a selection of the best addresses where you can be as glamorous or as kinky as you wish!

WHERE TO DINE OUT VERY LATE

The Quiet Man
5 rue des Haudriettes 75003 Paris
Tel: 01 48 04 02 77

Yono
37 rue Vieille du Temple 75004 Paris
Tel: 01 42 74 31 65
Dare to push open the doors (6 p.m. to 2 a.m.) and you’ll discover Ali Baba cellars on three levels. You’ll have fun in a typical Marais cellar, probably built in the 16th century, plus cheap drinks and cocktails, and a menu under 20 euros – good enough to be noticed.

Café du Trésor
7 rue du Trésor 75004 Paris 
Tel: 01 42 71 10 72
On a pedestrian street in one of the smartest places to see and be seen…have drinks and enjoy live DJ’s, a fashionable ambiance and a very good-looking crowd. Open noon until 2 a.m.

The Auld Alliance
80 rue Francois Miron 75004 Paris
Tel: 01 48 04 30 40
This is one of the few pubs to have a licence until 4 a.m. on weekends (most bars in France cannot stay open later than 2 a.m.). A good selection of Scottish, Irish and British beer, and a very friendly Anglophone crowd, of course. Happy hour from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

WHERE TO DANCE

Le Cabaret
2 Place du Palais Royal 75001 Paris
Just a few blocks away from le Marais in the direction of the Louvre, you’ll find what is probably this year’s chicest club. With a space ship design by Ora Ito and great house and hip hop music, it is difficult to get in if you don’t look very “branché” – wearing chic, smart fashion but informal and unconventional. George Clooney and Mick Jagger go there, and so do many sexy young models. Say “Cab” or you’re totally a “has been.” Features a gay tea dance on Sundays from 5 p.m. Open every night from 11 p.m. Entrance fee around 20 euros.

Le Tango
13 rue au Maire 75003 Paris
10:30 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Located in one of le Marais’ small chinatowns, this club is out of time, open to all, but mostly gay and lesbian. You’ll hear everything but techno – good old disco, tango and every kind of music, especially good old French hits from the seventies. Fun if not chic! Entrance fee is 7 euro. Don’t look too smart or too straight or they won’t let you in!

WHERE TO BE NAUGHTY

Le Château des Lys
If you want something a little more seductive and don’t mind traveling to Montmartre, there is a hot, new place, perfect for a wonderful, intimate dinner. Let your imagination run wild in one of the many rooms and love corners, including a dungeon that makes you feel like you are back in medieval times.
This place is naturally for adults only and is an experience you could not even imagine in the U.S. Most of the famous French porn stars visit often, not to mention many cute boys from the French army and the sexiest girls in town.

Very friendly club set in medieval cellars where everything we could not describe could happen. Best value in this category with no entrance fee and Champagne Glass at 22€.

Denise and her Team are very welcoming  and will show you what is sexy Paris!

Le Pluriel Club

Dinner buffet and a place for meetings between couples who wish to have exchanges or group action! Set in medieval house cellars, the décor matches the desires. Open at 8 p.m., doors close at 2 a.m. – but the action continues as long as you’re there. Don’t worry – they’ll let you out if you ask nicely.

Le Club 13
13 rue Dussoubs 75002 Paris
Another exchange club for kinky couples who wish to reignite their libidos. Free entrance for single women. Small rooms and a cozy décor. Open 11 p.m. until late….

WHERE TO HAVE YOUR EARLY BREAKFAST

Most Parisian cafés open as early as 7 a.m. or 8 a.m., as there is always someone who would like “un petit café” with a freshly baked croissant. One that is open from 6 a.m. is Les Chimeres, (“the dreams”) 133 rue Saint Antoine, 75004, Paris, just next to Métro Saint Paul. Café, croissant and orange juice for as little as 2 euros.
