- Stay close to the venue at the Novotel Paris Les Halles with Modern rooms, late-night friendly location and an easy ride back from the venue after the party.
District Guide
- The riverside around Scilicet feels very different from the tighter streets of Le Marais – wider views, open terraces and a younger summer crowd.
- On warm nights the Seine banks fill with people drinking, meeting friends and moving between bars and floating venues until late.
