Rue Mouffetard
One of Paris's oldest streets, buzzing with market stalls, fromageries, and boulangeries. Sample cheese and charcuterie as you wander down the hill.
Chez Léna et Mimile
At the bottom of Rue Mouffetard. Classic French bistro with a gorgeous terrace overlooking Place de la Contrescarpe. The duck confit is superb.
Le Caveau de la Huchette
15 min walk. Legendary jazz club in a medieval cellar. Live jazz and swing dancing every night since 1946. The vaulted stone ceilings and energy are electric.
Le Piano Vache
5 min walk. Legendary dive bar beloved by students and locals. Cheap drinks, great music, covered in posters. Raw, authentic Parisian nightlife.
Comments
Le Caveau de la Huchette on a Friday was electric, we ended up swing dancing with strangers for two hours. Bring comfy shoes tho, its a lot of standing
Thursday nights are way less packed and the bands are just as good.
Rue Mouffetard market stalls close early — don't start after 6pm or you'll miss the best part
Music lovers and night owls
Friday or Saturday evening
