<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Best Things to Do in Paris Alone at Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Catch a concert<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Whether you\u2019re a classically trained pianist or an original punk, Paris has something for you. This city is home to hundreds of concert halls, theaters, cabarets and other venues\u2014the choice can be overwhelming. We love the Folies Berg\u00e8res<\/a>, one of Montmartre\u2019s oldest music halls, which offers a mix of drag shows, cabaret, dance and comedy in a beautiful Art Deco setting. It\u2019s in the same neighborhood as the celebrated Moulin Rouge\u2014minus the bus loads of tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If live music is your thing, check out L’International<\/a> in the buzzing nightlife hub of Oberkampf. Littered with bars and late-night joints, Oberkampf is one arrondissement<\/em> that never sleeps\u2014and L\u2019International is a great place to see up-and-coming live bands while you soak in the local music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walking into a packed bar alone might seem daunting, especially when you don\u2019t speak the language. Not only that, but French wine is\u2014eek\u2014complicated. Among all the best wine bars in Paris<\/a>, we\u2019ve picked out two of the friendliest to make things a little easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nestled in a quiet side street in the trendy 11th arrondissement, Septime La Cave<\/a> is one of Paris\u2019 most celebrated addresses for natural wine. It\u2019s the size of a postage stamp and packed to the rafters with bottles, so be ready to squeeze your way up to the bar to order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bilingual wine specialists are on hand to help you choose, and a great mix of tourists and restaurant professionals rock up each night, jamming in until the place feels like a can of sardines. It\u2019s not the place for private conversations\u2014and you can\u2019t help but make new friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Down in the celebrated neighborhood of Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s, there are bars on every corner\u2026 But in this touristic area, you need to go a little further to get off the beaten path. Seek out L’Avant Comptoir du March\u00e9<\/a>, a bar tucked away in an unsuspecting corner of the local market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After the success of their first three establishments, the team behind L\u2019Avant Comptoir has branched out. Here they focus on all things pork, with the same excellent wine selection and welcoming seats at the bar. Approachable, friendly staff will help you navigate the myriad of wine choices, and hopefully\u2014if you ask nicely\u2014serve you a generous slice of that four-pound slab of butter standing proudly on the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A night alone in Paris is a great time to check out some of the city’s museums\u2014later hours mean smaller crowds. Luckily for us, some of the city\u2019s biggest names keep their doors open after sundown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Louvre is open until 9 p.m. on Wednesdays, while the Centre Pompidou\u2014Parisians\u2019 favorite museum\u2014is open until 9 p.m. on Thursdays. And every night of the week except Tuesday, the Palais de Tokyo<\/a>, Paris\u2019 top spot for contemporary art, is open until midnight. The Palais de Tokyo also boasts some of the city\u2019s best views of the Eiffel Tower, plus a late-night bar where you can grab a glass and watch her sparkle just across the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re looking for something more interactive, check out the program at Shakespeare and Company<\/a>. This celebrated English-language bookshop is open most days until 10 p.m. (6 p.m. on Sundays) and hosts evenings with writers, conferences and even drawing classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tucked away in the 5th arrondissement, behind the Jardin des Plantes, is the Great Mosque of Paris<\/a>. Still a functioning place of worship, the Mosque also hosts a restaurant, caf\u00e9, garden, reading rooms and one of the most beautiful hammams in Paris<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the hammam was completely renovated in 2019, the architects chose to respect the original 1920s design. Traditional columns and niches add to the drama of dark, sumptuous colors and steamy rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the perfect place for solo female travelers to unwind after a long day of sightseeing; it\u2019s reserved for women only every day except Tuesdays, and open until 9 p.m. Sitting in the menagerie courtyard with a glass of mint tea is the perfect way to end your evening. It\u2019s essential to bring your own towel, and keep in mind that you can\u2019t book online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dining alone at night might seem intimidating for solo travelers! But for Parisians, eating alone is an act of self-care; a way to take some time out for you. Look carefully, and you can always find a Parisian solo diner. That said, it\u2019s easier to eat at the bar\u2014the bartender is there to chat with, and who knows? The person next to you might be alone, too. These are some of the best bars for eating alone in Paris at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our favorite spots is Clamato<\/a>. With 32 seats at the bar, this is a convivial dining space\u2014loud and laidback yet professional\u2014which serves some of Paris\u2019 best seafood. Six oysters just for you? That might be the epitome of self-care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch out, though: this space fills up quickly and doesn\u2019t take reservations. Turn up early, and if it\u2019s full, they\u2019ll add your name to the waiting list. Luckily, Septime La Cave is located right across the street, so you can pass the time with a delicious drink in your hand! (Yes, we just planned your night out for you.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/devourparisfoodtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/paris-nightlife-concert.jpg\")
