Le Divan du Monde

In the heart of the stingy, sleazy, and scandalous 18th arrondissement of Pigalle in Paris lies the infamous club "Le Divan du Monde". After the first hour of the morning in Paris the youth comes out to play and you will find a line stretching from the club's entrance filing down la Rue des Martyrs. Although you may find this discouraging, do not fret because inside awaits a spectacle of excitement and energy. The club that once used to be a theater dating back to the early 19th century is now a host of nightlife and concerts for Parisians and foreigners from around the world. As you walk in you feel as if you are an actor in this life size play depicting the wild nightlife of Pigalle. Prepare to stay up all night dancing or as the Parisians like to call it prepare for "La Nuit Blanche". The atmosphere is contagious and hype. Yet there is an essence of nostalgia as you maneuver through the crowd towards the stage, due to the fact that infamous artists from the past used to flock here for entertainment. The two-floor club allows you to be a spectator from multiple views. Whether or not you are a shameless or shameful partier, you can choose which level your audience can watch you. The bottom floor provides access to the bar shoved to the side and crowded by customers shouting drink orders over "Whoop there it is!" to the bartender. The crowd made up of circles of friends shake and swing to the 90's music as it throbs through their bodies. If you are brave then venture to the stage where your epic moonwalk can be easily displayed for the onlookers on the second floor leaning against the railing calmly sipping their cocktails and enjoying the show. Regardless of the night you choose to boogie at Le Divan du Monde the pumping music will make anyone "Get Jiggy Wit It" Big Willie Style.
