Pigalle is a treasure trove of historical landmarks and must see sites, but it's not often one finds both inside a nightclub.

Set inside the iconic French composer Bizet’s former residence (a listed building) and named after his most famous opera, Carmen is a truly unique bar and club in the heart of Pigalle.

Here you will spot everyone from artistes to couples, to young hipsters swapping stories and numbers, while enjoying a cocktail or two, amid the grand backdrop of frescoed ceilings, neo-classical columns, chandeliers and boudoir style furniture.

Evenings at Le Carmen are as diverse as its crowd and range from book club readings, to violin concerts, to fashion parties, to simply laid back chill.

There is no cocktail menu but the handy barmen will ask U a few questions and make one measure just for U, based on Ur preferences and his inspiration.

We recommend U start with a drink upstairs and move on to the club located on the lower ground floor and opened until the early morning hours.
