Le Sans Souci

Pigalle - 9eme, Paris –

A no-frills dive in the heart of bustling Pigalle, the aptly-named Le Sans Souci (“no worries”) and its carefree energy attract a laid-back clientele of chain-smoking hipsters and after-work revelers ready to relax and imbibe champagne.

A classic French space featuring white walls, large windows, and the requisite clutter of handwritten chalkboard menus, the tiny bar manages to cram in an incredible number of artists and musicians in the market for affordable drafts of Guinness and lively conversation while bobbing to the DJ spinning The Black Keys.

Sometime around midnight, the increasingly boozy crowd converges on the sidewalk for more animated chitchat while drinking their faces off with more rounds of cheap bubbly.

Perfect for both a quick late night appearance before heading off to the clubs or for hours of drinking and chatting with the other tipsy young professionals, Le Sans Souci promises a quirky night out with a little bit of something for everyone.
