Champs-Élysées Nightclubs: Every Club Around the Avenue and the Arc de Triomphe
· Updated:
The Champs-Élysées nightclubs are mostly in the side streets of the 8th arrondissement and around the Arc de Triomphe: Raspoutine, Cova, Mirage, Les Planches and Medellin within a few minutes' walk of the avenue, Bridge under the Pont Alexandre III, and L'Arc, Le Duplex, L'Aventure and Nua around the Étoile. They're table clubs with smart dress and a selective door, open mainly Thursday to Saturday until 5am or 6am.
This is the Paris most visitors picture when they think of a night out: an international crowd, tables booked for birthdays, and a door team that decides who comes in. It's also the part of the city where things change fastest. Le Queen, the avenue's famous club, closed quietly in 2018, and the old Showcase under the Pont Alexandre III is now Bridge. Here's what was open in 2026.

Raspoutine and Bridge: the two landmarks
Raspoutine is the club with the story. It opened in April 1965 as a Russian cabaret over three basement floors at 58 rue de Bassano, with décor by the artist Erté, and its frontage, staircase and first-basement interiors were listed as a historic monument in 1991. Today it's a deep house club open Thursday to Saturday from 11:30pm to 5am, with a themed Kabukicho night on Thursdays in 2026, and a door with a reputation for being picky. The nearest metro is George V.
Bridge is the opposite in scale. It's built into the bank of the Seine under the Pont Alexandre III, at 3 Port des Champs-Élysées, on the site of the former Showcase, and the Paris Region tourist board names Paris Society as its operator. At weekends and on the night before public holidays it opens from midnight to 6am, with resident DJs mixing pop, rap, rock and party classics, plus dancers and circus acts; on big nights it holds around 2,500 people on a 1,200 m² floor. Some Thursdays it also runs afterworks from 7pm.
Rue Pierre Charron, rue du Colisée and avenue Marceau
Two clubs sit side by side on rue Pierre Charron. Cova, at number 67, is set in a former private mansion and keeps the room deliberately uncrowded, with selective electronic programming plus hits, hip-hop, afro and house, Thursday to Saturday until 5:30am. Mirage, at number 65, plays hits, house, dance and hip-hop from Thursday to Sunday, starting around 12:30am. Both ask for a smart and elegant outfit in their listings.
On rue du Colisée, Les Planches has been part of the street's nightlife for decades; in July 2026 Sortir à Paris described it as open on Saturdays from 11pm to 5am, with house, Latin sounds and chart hits, and a Mexican residency called Puebla with live mariachis. On avenue Marceau, Medellin is one of the few rooms in this part of Paris built around reggaeton, with Latin music, house and hip-hop from 11:30pm until morning.
Dinner first: Manko, Matignon and Giulia
In the Triangle d'Or, the night often starts at the table. Manko, at 15 avenue Montaigne next to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, serves Peruvian and Japanese food, and from Wednesday to Saturday the room becomes a party, with House of Manko on Thursdays and a DJ with live sax and percussion on Saturdays; its bar closes at 2am. Matignon, at the Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées and part of the Costes brothers' Beaumarly group, switches its lounges to club mode with resident DJs from 11pm every evening. Giulia, an Italian restaurant on rue Quentin Bauchart, has DJ sets and live acoustic music from Tuesday to Saturday until 2am.
Around the Arc de Triomphe and Porte Maillot
On the ring of the Place Charles de Gaulle, L'Arc faces the Arc de Triomphe from 12 rue de Presbourg: Thursday to Saturday, 11:55pm to 6am, hip-hop and house, a terrace and a marble dance floor, and US rap guests such as Gunna and Travis Scott during Fashion Week in October 2025. Le Duplex, at 2 bis avenue Foch, opens every night until 6am with a different sound in each room. L'Aventure, on avenue Victor Hugo, is a Beaumarly club with deep house and the hardest door in the area. Nua, on rue de Tilsitt, plays afrobeat and afro house on Saturdays. A little further, Gate, inside the Palais des Congrès at Porte Maillot, books international house and techno DJs on Fridays.
The door, the dress code and the table
In this part of Paris the door decides, and it decides fast. Dress smart: the tourist board says L'Arc refuses jeans and trainers, and Cova and Mirage ask for an elegant outfit. Small, mixed groups get in more easily than big groups, and a booked table changes everything on a busy night. Sortir à Paris also advises arriving before midnight at L'Arc on big nights. Table conditions depend on the club, the night and where you sit, so tell us your date and group size and we'll come back with what's possible.

Which nightclubs are on the Champs-Élysées?
Very few clubs open directly onto the avenue: they're in the side streets. Raspoutine (rue de Bassano), Cova and Mirage (rue Pierre Charron), Les Planches (rue du Colisée) and Medellin (avenue Marceau) are a few minutes away, Bridge is under the Pont Alexandre III, and L'Arc and Le Duplex face the Arc de Triomphe.
What should I wear to a Champs-Élysées club?
Dress smart. The Paris Region tourist board says L'Arc refuses jeans and trainers, listings for Cova and Mirage ask for a smart and elegant outfit, and Raspoutine's door is known to be selective. A shirt or jacket, a dress, good shoes and nothing sporty is the safe choice.
Which Champs-Élysées clubs are open during the week?
Le Duplex, on avenue Foch, says it opens every night from 11pm to 6am. Matignon's club side starts at 11pm every evening. Most others open Thursday to Saturday, and Bridge at weekends.
Is a table necessary in the 8th arrondissement?
Not always, but most clubs here work around tables, and on a busy night a table makes the door much simpler, especially for a group. Conditions depend on the club, the night and the area: message us on WhatsApp.
How do I get home from the Champs-Élysées at night?
Metro line 1 runs along the avenue until about 2:15am on Fridays and Saturdays and about 1:15am on other nights (at the end of the line). After that, the N11 night bus stops at George V, Charles de Gaulle-Étoile and the Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées.
