The Perfect One Night in Paris Bars

One night in Paris bars operates on a different clock to most cities. The evening starts late by northern European standards — nobody is at a cocktail bar before 8 pm — but the quality of what is available after that hour, particularly in the Marais and Pigalle, is exceptional. Our editors have mapped the evening that works.
