Paris at night: party with confidence

Parisian nightlife is vibrant and full of promise. To ensure that these moments of celebration remain positive experiences for everyone, many establishments are actively committed to promoting a culture of care and respect. Whether you are a woman who wants to dance in peace, an LGBTQIA+ person looking for a judgement-free night out, or a tourist eager to discover Parisian nightlife in safety, there are places that have you in mind.

The ‘Fêtez Clairs’ initiative: a commitment to respectful nights

To ensure safe and inclusive party venues, the City of Paris actively supports the Fêtez Clairs. This initiative encourages nightlife establishments (bars, clubs, discos) to adopt a charter focused on preventing gender-based and sexual violence, combating discrimination and promoting a respectful party environment.

In concrete terms, establishments participating in the Fêtez Clairs scheme commit to:

  • train their staff to identify and prevent inappropriate behaviour
  • put in place clear protocols for reporting and dealing with situations of harassment or assault
  • raise awareness among their customers of the values of respect and consent
  • provide safe spaces or discreet assistance to people who feel they need it

Associations such as Consentis and Act Right play a crucial role in supporting and training establishments that adhere to this approach. Consentis works to promote a culture of consent and prevent sexual violence, while Act Right campaigns against discrimination and for inclusion in festive spaces.

By choosing establishments displaying the Fêtez Clairs label or working in partnership with these associations Consentis or Act Right, you are choosing venues where your well-being and safety are a priority, allowing everyone to enjoy the excitement of Parisian nights with complete peace of mind.
