Le Dépôt
With a cop shop just next door you’d think this strictly men-only bar and club over three floors would be a titch more subdued. Fat (actually, rather buffed) chance. It proudly waves its gay flag just metres from the red, white and blue ones of the commissariat (police station) and is perhaps just as much of an institution. It’s a major men’s pick-up joint, with theme nights, DJs and notorious backrooms.

Le Tango
Billing itself as a boîte à frissons (club of thills), Le Tango ushers in a cosmopolitan gay and lesbian crowd. Housed in a historic 1930s dancehall, its atmosphere and style is retro and festive. Dancing gets going when it opens at 10.30pm with waltzing, salsa and tango. From 12.30am DJs play. Sunday’s gay tea dance is legendary.

Raidd Bar
This is a club-bar that takes its cue from Splash in New York, with showering go-go boys behind glass (three times nightly from 11pm) and a terrace on which to cool off. The staff are pretty attitude-y and the drinks aren’t cheap, but that’s New York for you. Happy hour is 5pm to 9pm daily (till 11pm for beer).

Le Duplex
Attracting a crowd that is ni fashion ni folle (neither into fashion nor queeny), the (very) long-established Duplex is comatose during the week but fills up at the weekend with ‘boys next door’ from out of town. Looking for a glitz-less shag? Come here.

La Scène Bastille
The unpretentious Bastille Scene puts on a mixed bag of concerts but focuses on electro, funk and hip hop Thursday to Saturday – the kind of place where local DJs go to relax and listen to music.

Le Nouveau Casino
This club has a name for itself amid the Oberkampf bars for its live music concerts and lively weekend club nights. The programme is eclectic, underground and always up to the minute.

Le Rex Club
The Rex reigns majestic in the House and techno scene, always has and probably always will.
