NIGHTLIFE IN PARIS



As you would expect, Paris has something for everyone. If you like excitement, check out the MOULIN ROUGE, located in Montmartre, and made even more popular by the movie of the same name. If you have seen the movie, though, be aware that it was filmed entirely on a movie set.

Day or night, Les Deux Magots was a favourite spot of such celebrities as Ernest Hemingway.

One of Paris' best-known restaurants is Maxim's, on Rue Royale. It has been the site of private parties by Christina Onassis and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
