We will be in Paris for a few days and we are trying to figure out what record stores and clubs we want to check out while there. There was a pretty informative thread on Paris clubs and stores here last year and I was wondering wether this information is still accurate?

Pat, I guess we were still in Spain mode, in other words we didn't get to the club until a bit after midnight and by then all the bands were done and packed up. But yea, I did make it to Born Bad twice (Wed & Sat), so good chance that was me you heard.

The urges play on the 14th at Les Combustibles not far from born bad and bastille area...

You can also go to the Plastic Bar (bastille), La mecanique ondulatoire (bastille), le fanfaron (near bastille), le Baron Samedi (metro goncourt) and surely find some rockers drinking at those bars !

Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it.

@ Go Sound Invasion - Our room is pretty close to Born Bad, so I guess we'll pop in there first to see what is happening in town that week. (Oct. 12-15)

@ Eric - Thanks for those two record stores and especially the Metro stops. Le Silence De La Rue is only 90 meters from our hotel!

@Jean-Jaques - I found Le Piccolo on the map, it's not all that far away, thanks.

What was posted lasy year is still valid but i would add the following record stores Le silence de la rue 39 rue Faidherbe 11eme Metro station Faidherbe Chaligny Good new stuff, lotsa vinyls (garage, punk, 60s, ...) and also a lot of soul stuff CD and records Le rideau de fer 12 rue andre del sarthe 18eme Metro station Chateau Rouge used vinyl only and they re good people

Thanks, fantastic thread. I will also be in Paris the last week in Oct. and intend to try and check out anything happening there.

I wiil say Born bad records shop and Exotica clothing http://www.bornbad.fr/ BORN BAD 17 RUE KELLER ,75011 PARIS, METRO BASTILLE OU VOLTAIRE OUVERT DU LUNDI AU SAMEDI DE 12H00 A 20H00 +331 43 38 41 78 EXOTICA 11 RUE SAINT SABIN , 75011 PARIS METRO BASTILLE OUVERT DU LUNDI AU SAMEDI DE 12H00 A 19H00 +331 49 23 98 05
