Back in fashion over the last few years, the open air dance hall bars and their convivial mindset are on a roll in the capital.

Between April and mid-December, lunches, snacks, dancing dinners, but also open guinguette days are just waiting for your twist, waltz, country dance, tango and rock'n'roll moves.

Trendy Dance Halls
Rosa Bonheur, on the heights of Buttes Chaumontm, is also on the point of becoming a cultural institution. Since it opened, it success has continued to grow, welcoming you on a bandstand in the heart of a neighborhood which saw the birth of the dance halls of Belleville in the 19th century. That's the garden side. On the Seine side, Rosa Bonheur sur Seine has imposed her style on the redeveloped left bank.

The Riverside Dance Hall
In the Javel port, La Javelle, known as the "effervescent dance hall," brings together large wooden tables, deckchairs, tea-lights and quality food trucks. A retro atmosphere extending to the enjoyment of the Picon served at the bar, which could not conceal a place in the spirit of the times, which combines genres and hosts parties as much as it does concerts or yoga classes. La Javelle claims to house the smallest night club in the world called La Boîte à sardines (sardine tin).
