Hello, paris

Few cities match the iconic status that Paris holds in the imagination of travellers. In fashion, gastronomy, and the arts, she is queen. As you wander through the different quartiers of the City of Light, her moods shift from gritty to sophisticated, from haute couture to underground. There is always something new to discover here beyond the legendary sights and museums. Paris has a way of getting under your skin, feeling instantly familiar as you lose yourself in her hypnotic streets and linger at her cafés.

The Bars & Nightlife to Visit

Happy Hour Brunch Classic Cocktails

Harry's New York Bar

Just 24 years younger than the Eiffel Tower, Harry's New York Bar is as much a Paris landmark as the big metal one. Hidden on a quiet street between the Opéra Garnier and Place Vendôme, it has been serving classic cocktails since 1911. The mahogany bar, dark woodwork, stained-glass windows, and tin ceiling—imported from New York before Prohibition—have all been carefully preserved, while the walls display university banners and banknotes collected by generations of patrons. Step inside and you’re transported to a bygone era, complete with stylishly dressed bartenders and an intimate piano bar in the cellar. This is where legends were born: the Bloody Mary (allegedly made for Ernest Hemingway), the Sidecar, and the French 75. Over the decades, Harry’s has welcomed Coco Chanel, Humphrey Bogart, and Ian Fleming, whose 'Sank Roo Doe Noo' instructions for James Bond are inscribed on the large mirror behind the bar. Today, the menu still mixes timeless classics with contemporary additions, offering cocktails that honour its legendary past while staying inventive.

Gigs are often free before midnight, and by 1 am, Supersonic transforms into a dance-friendly club pulsing with energy.
