Rue de Lappe

Rue de Lappe runs through the 11th arrondissement and connects different bars, restaurants, and performance venues along its paved street. The narrow and lively setting defines the center of the Bastille district.

During the 19th century, this street changed from a residential area into a center of Parisian nightlife, attracting musicians and dancers. The many dance halls created a cultural identity that still echoes today.

The street keeps its musical tradition through several performance venues where local artists regularly play. You can experience different music styles here, from jazz to contemporary French songs, which shape the nightlife.

The street is easiest to reach by metro at Bastille or Ledru-Rollin stations, both within a short walk. Several bus lines run nearby if you prefer another way to get there.

Traditional French bistros sit next to modern clubs on the street, creating an unexpected mix of different eras. This contrast brings together generations of Parisians who gather here as darkness falls.
