...you have to go to LES BAINS DOUCHes this is one of the most famous dance club of Paris. That is in the center of paris.. It's a bit like in the movies there is a lot of people of the security at the enter and a lot of Physionomists who tell who can enter ... or not . The club is the center of paris, don't go before 1' oclock... 'cause before there is not a lot of clubers in . But after 12 there is no Metro in bus and no bus anymore , so you have ...

I found this place a little bit pretentious. This night club has the reputation to be trendy but actually it's quiet tacky. I will compare it to the China White in London with French celebrity instead (unfortunately you may not know them!). But don't get me wrong enjoying yourself it is a state of mind, I went there several times when I was living in Paris and I had great time. Before going there, check who is playing. If the cow boys in front door don't let you in, do not worry there are lot of good and better places to go and much cheaper.

Advantages: Beautiful people
Disadvantages: prices

This venue is a little odd, sometimes the most chic place to go in Paris, sometimes not, depending on the fickle whims of the Parisian clubber. Recently redecorated, the interior is sool, young and independent - the clientele are usually the same. There are occasional themenights, but most of the time its straight RnB. Check the local press for details (Liberation, the culture section is probably your best bet). Prices are a little higher than other ...
...the chilled out ambience and the company of Paris' best dressed. Dress well for this club, and try not to get too drunk for fear of the bouncers. This is not my favourite club, and at the same time it makes a change to mix with the beautiful people. 7, rue du Bourg, l'Abbe, 75003. ... Read review

Advantages: Properly French
Disadvantages: No globalised mod-cons such as an Internet cafe

...Have you ever felt the need to escape to a place where you can feel truly at peace with the world? A place that is relaxing, yet not spoilt by the tourist trade? A place far enough removed from your every-day life, but not far away physically? Well, look no further than Brides les Bains. Pronounced "bhreed-la-baahn", this small village in the Savoy region of France is the perfect place to unwind. In winter, it's close to Meribel and the vast area of snow known as the "Trois Vallees". Meribel itself is set up for English tourists and therefore lacks the French charm that Brides offers, which is only a gondola (AKA bubble, telecabine, chairlift thingy)-ride away. At 600 metres above sea level, Brides has also been known to get snow during winter. Although there is a skiing/boarding trail from Meirbel, it's rarely used and is more... Read review

Advantages: excellent riding when there is snow
Disadvantages: not much apres-ski

...I have been snowboarding for a couple of seasons, and visited Serre Chevalier with my girlfriend and sister (+boyfriend). We stayed in Monetier-les-bains, where my sister knew a french girl who could lend us accomodation. Firstly, the snowboarding. With 3 beginners in our group we headed up to do some easy runs, and bought passes for Monetier only. It was relatively early season (mid Jan), and the resort stayed crowd-free for the whole of our week, despite a substantial snowfall. Passes were also pretty cheap by french standards. We spent most of our time running the 3 lifts up from the Bachas restaurant. It is an OK area for beginners, with plenty of variation in terrain to be challenging enough for them. we used day 5 (of 6) on the slopes to buy a supplementary pass for the whole resort and popped over to Serre Che for a look...

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: None.

...Having spent numerous weeks over the Easter period in and around Lake Geneva, I have well and truly fallen in love with it. I tend to head for Evian-les-Bains to use as my base (which is where the bottled water comes from), because of the views and facilities. Sitting right on the edge of the lake, it provides easy access to nearby Switzerland as well as the local French sights and sounds. The weather there was absolutely fantastic, and you even see the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland. A land train takes you along the front, in and around the many flower gardens and public spaces. The town centre is awash with Frecnh shops, restaurants and bars - giving you that ultimate experience! All of the towns that are situated on the banks make use of the fact that there is so much water nearby, and have provided many small hotels... Read review
