VIP Tables at Essaim

Essaim is a one-room dancefloor club rather than a table venue. If you're coming as a group or want help with a specific night, message us on WhatsApp with the date and how many you are; conditions depend on the club and the night.

Dress Code & Entry Requirements

Essaim doesn't publish a dress code. What it does say is that entry is at the door team's discretion, with or without a presale ticket, and that presale holders get priority until 01:00. Most of the entry is sold on the door, so arrive early on big nights.

The nights: long sets, one room

Essaim books for the dancefloor rather than the big names on a poster. Its weekend runs on recurring nights: tribalism on most Fridays, cocoon on Saturdays and extended on Sundays from 16:00, plus one-off nights such as reshape. Club nights usually go from 23:00 to 06:30 and some specials carry on until 10:00. The November 2026 agenda shows the style: Nicolas Lutz playing all night on the 7th, Octo Octa on the Sunday afternoon of the 8th, Joe Claussell b2b Ron Trent for RA25 Paris on the 12th, Ben UFO on the 14th, Rhadoo on the 15th and Skee Mask b2b Vlada on the 21st. The club has no website of its own: the programme goes out on Instagram and Resident Advisor.

The room and the people behind it

The club opened on 31 October 2024 and celebrated its second birthday on 30 October 2026. It took over the former premises of Club Carbone and Bisou Club and was set up by Brice Coudert and Jonathan Malaisé, the team that ran Concrete, with Antoine Hernandez. Sortir à Paris describes a single space for about 400 people, an L-Acoustics sound system tuned for clean sound, discreet lighting and a DJ booth at the same level as the crowd. Resident Advisor's 2026 guide sums it up as one of the most intimate and carefully curated clubs in the city. There's no website and little presale: most entry is sold at the door, and the club's own note says the door team decides, presale or not. Arrive early on the nights with the biggest names, and plan to stay, because the sets are long.

Getting there and getting home

Essaim is at 14 rue Philippe de Girard in the 10th, a few minutes from La Chapelle (metro line 2) and Louis Blanc (line 7), and close to Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est. Coming home, the last metro reaches the end of each line around 01:15 from Sunday to Thursday and around 02:15 on Friday and Saturday. After that, the Noctilien night buses run every night from about 00:30 to 05:30, with Gare de l'Est among their main hubs. If you leave at closing time, the first morning metros are the other option. If it's your first time, message us on WhatsApp with the night you have in mind and how many you are: we'll tell you what to expect at the door and how to get there and back.
