clubs in the most fashionable capital of the world!
«Les
Bains-Douches» is the place where you are lucky to see drunken dances by
DiCaprio
It is the most luxurious and the starry place in Paris. And over and
above the very place where Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman observed the release of
the movie «Jerry Maguire» while the popular rapper Puff Daddy gave a party in
honor of Jennifer Lopes, his passion for that time. By different occasions and
time such celebrities as Milla Jovovich, Mal Gibson, Boy George and Gwyneth
Paltrow were the honorable visitors of that club. If you really want to visit «Les
Bains-Douches» club you should either book a table in the restaurant a couple
of months to go before at least (actually this is very expensive) or you have
to show off in your best clothes, to stand in a long line at the entrance and
get favored by the face-control service. Should you choose the second way you
will enjoy some advantages as well. You are
lucky if you see how the doors to the club open to such stars as Mick Jagger, Brian
de Palma, Donatella Versace or Leonardo DiCaprio. The latter was photographed
once by paparazzi dancing at the stage of «Les Bains-Douches» with a champagne
bottle in the hand.
By the way,
it's quite strange and doubtful name which means ‘Bathhouse shower' came by the
Turkish baths that used to locate there. There are black-and-white glazed tiles
and a swimming pool as a history souvenir in the club in some places and where half-naked
models and celebrity guests like to swim and have a rest close by the morning
time.
«Le Baron»
is a club where you may see Björk at her concerts
«Le Baron» is
the hard-to-reach club of the capital of France. A small hall that is more like
a cozy sitting room with comfortable sofas and a great piano in the corner, seats
150 persons as maximum. And therefore quite friendly securities at the entrance
door added to their armory a reasonable excuse, «Club is full, come tomorrow». Saturday
parties at the «Le Baron» welcome guests only by secret passwords and
invitation cards to be distributed among friends of clubmen. Here the music is deem
very intellectual thus this very club is loved by artistic circles persons like
the writer Frederick Begbeder, the stage director Sophia Coppola and the artist Matthew Barney. By the way, Björk,
the wife of the latter, named this place as the best place in Paris. And a few
times in a couple of cocktails she performed with improvised concerts at the «Le
Baron».
«Rex Club» is
thought to be the best sound stage for «Chemical Brothers»
This is the
most popular dance ground in France. People come here to dance only but not to
show off and look around. However, in the glittering shade of the club you can
recognize Vincent Lindon, a famous actor (by the way, a big lover of various
hangouts) and a scandal photographer Helmut Newton who used to come here
seeking for fresh models. The club is famous and proud of the most powerful
sound system in Europe. It is a pride to value its capacity and the «Rex» is
regularly visited by the stars of world electronic music, like David Guetta, Carl Cox, ‘Chemical Brothers' and ‘Dаft Punk'.
And it is the ‘Rex' that gave the public the DJ Loran Garnier. In his return
the latter performs in the club almost every Thursday of a month. His parties
are so popular that the dance hall is too crowded and you have to get here a
long before.
«Mandala
Ray» is the club adored by Johnny Depp, Shaun Penn and John Malkovich
For six days
a week «Mandala Ray» or, how it is called, «Man Ray» is like a restaurant with
a delicious kitchen (by the way, the prices are very reasonable for such a
first-class house). And once a week (sometimes on Friday, sometimes on Saturday)
the tables covered by snow-white starched tablecloths and delicacies from chief
cooks do not stand down dances and joyfulness.
Yet, you'll
get surprised to see at one of the table at the «Mandala Ray» talking Johnny
Depp, Shaun Penn and John Malkovich. They are co-owners of this house and they
always have a dinner here at the club at their regular trips to Paris.
«Buddha-Bar»
is the place where Naomi Campbell, Cameron Diaz and Paris Hilton used to have a
rest
This is a
celebrated place indeed. In the middle of 90s the club «Buddha-Bar» was the
first to introduce the fashion to lounge music, chill-outs with cozy sofas and
Japanese kitchen. The success was so loud that in the soonest time the similar
clubs were opened in Barcelona, London, Dubai, Vienna and Las Vegas. At the
present the stir in regards to the «Buddha-Bar» significantly lowered. But
anyway Rod Stuart, Shaun Connery and Bill Clinton regularly name this club as
the one of the most favorite places in Paris. As for Naomi Campbell, Cameron
Diaz and Paris Hilton, they admit that they call at here just to have a dinner
under the music of «De Phazz» after the tiring shopping in Paris. So well, are
you ready to join the starry chill-out?
