Saint-Germain at night? There are no rules anymore. It's the fun of exercise. On the cobblestones of the place Saint-Germain des Prés, we are at the core of the problem.
02.00 hours: three possibilities. Le Bonaparte, Les Deux Magots
with its impeccable service and the Flore
where service is a little more crispate. But we can return later: it's open up to 2.00 hours. Let's have fun. And to have fun, we must form a patrol, with the principle that the company is good. Direction rue de l'Abbaye. At the end, the "
Chai de l'Abbaye ", very popular with the autochthons, the "Palette", rue Jacques Callot, where rumour tries to present the owners as disagreeable,
when it's just a matter of taming them, get used to them.
22.00 hours: let's get to the rue de Buci. The "Bar du Marché" is always packed and trendy.
"Le Conti" at no.1 of the street, is the one that stays open the latest. Certain evenings, a man, with a, impressive allure, tweed costume, vestige of better times, announces with a smile that he is unable to pay. And a stranger pays for him.
23.00 hours: let's get back on the boulevard Saint-Germain, where the "Mabillon", trendy sophisticated, is open, with mean looking guards at the door. Don't provoke them! I prefer the "Mondrian", further on, on the boulevard, for the service, the boss who is a real lady and a less visible and loud public. After that, you have to make a detour along the rue des Quatre Vents, up to the rue Grégoire de Tours,
"Chez Jean-Pierre". Curious place, unique patron. You can forget all your worries until sunrise. But you can also slip away to the packed
" Canadian Club", full of Anglo-Saxons and bear traces on the ground.
Midnite: Want to have fun? Laugh your heart out until six in the morning? "Don
Carlos", restaurant, cabaret, ultra trendy, rue Mazarine.
1.00 hours: if you believe the jazz experts, Saint-Germain lost its momentum. But you can always go to "Arbuci", rue de Buci or the "Bilboquet" in the rue Saint-Benoit, and the "Balle au
Bond" or the "Cinq-Sept", barges on the quai Malaquais.
2.00 hours: we could also go and dance at the "Pousse au
Crime", rue Guisarde, plenty of humid scrimmages.
4.00 hours: let's breathe! There will always be a bar open in Saint-Germain for nighthawks, or the sandwich bar in the rue de l'Ancienne Comédie, which is also a karaoke.
We are tired. We return to our hotel and go to bed.
