Paris By Late Night

PARIS BY LATE NIGHT
Off the beaten track isn’t a place… it’s a time.

Escapades for atypical travelers

My Paris By Late Night Escapade is the only true Paris by night tour for travelers with the spirit to enjoy one of the city’s best-kept secrets: that in a heavily visited city such as this, “off the beaten track” isn’t truly a place—it’s a time. It’s an alternative time when Paris is its most expressive, mysterious, and romantic, as seen through its monuments, neighborhoods, bars, clubs, street life and other secrets and joys of the city.

Most visitors tour Paris as though it were a job: out of the hotel by 9:30AM, back by 6:30PM, dinner no later than 8. By 11PM most tourists are in bed. But you’re an atypical traveler. You don’t need to follow the standard tourist day.

My Paris By Late Night Escapade allows you to capture the alternate reality of the beauty, romance and joy of Paris, while leaving the vast majority of tourists behind as the night goes on.

Discovering the night

The full Paris By Late Night Escapade generally runs from 7/7:30/8PM (depending on the season) to 1:30/2:00/2:30AM (depending on your desire to pursue Paris by night).

You’ll see and learn about monuments great and small without being poked by selfie sticks.
You’ll explore, enjoy and learn about neighborhoods that lose their tourist-heavy atmosphere at night.
You’ll enjoy several tasting experiences, e.g. some cheese and charcuterie here, a bowl of onion soup there, dessert elsewhere. No formal meal but as plentiful as your appetite.
You’ll step into original, off-beat bars, perhaps a jazz club or a cabaret.
You’ll be seen back to your hotel or apartment at the end of the escapade, unless you prefer to be left off elsewhere to stroll back home on your own.

This tour varies depending on the time of year, the weather, and of course your particular interests. In late spring and summer we might spend more of the evening outside. In fall and winter we may include more off-beat bars, clubs and neighborhoods.
