Answer 1

In terms of entertainment, perhaps someplace like Georges Cafe at 4, rue de la Huchette (5th) is what you are looking for:

The Rex Club at 5, bd Poissonniere in the 9th arr. Techno & hard house. Here's their website: http://www.rexclub.com/rex.html

La Scala at 188 bis rue de Rivoli in the 1st is gigantic. Its website states their music is "Funky to Happy Dance, from Deep House to R&B and New Jack" Check it out yourself: http://www.lascalaparis.com/lascala-english.html

The Lizard Lounge at 18 rue du Bourg-Tibourg in the 4th. has a DJ in the basement spining records until the sun comes up.

A few more suggestions are

Le Baron
6 avenue Marceau, 8th

Le Paris Paris
5 avenue de l'Opéra, 1st arr.

Le Truskel
12 rue Feydeau, 2nd arr.

Planète Mars
21 rue Keller, 11th arr.

Shebeen
16 rue du Pot de Fer, 5th

Le Bottle Shop
5 rue Trousseau, 11th

If you're there on a Friday night and have brought your skates with you then you can go on the Friday Night Skate thru the streets of Paris. Just show up at the Place D'Italie at around 10 PM and you'll find thousands of people ready to skate thru the streets with a police escort.

Answer 2

I was never in France but i just did an essay on it.Go to the beaches in the south. IBiarritz is a surfing and resort town. In paris you can go to the Louvre. A lot of bars are in the Champs-Elysées area. In the Bastille area threre is the huge Barrio Latino its a spot for drinks and dancing the salsa. There is also Disneyland Paris and the catacombs.

Answer 3

To things that are a little different: The Arenes du Lutece. An ancient Roman arena, completely restored. 5th Arrondisment, metro Cardinal le Moine. The other is the Catacombs of Paris. Very creepy, very spirtual, absolutely unforgettable.
