Nightlife: Alcazar, Paris, France

Head upstairs to the swanky lounge of Sir Terence Conran’s see-and-be-seen hotspot restaurant. Here, you are treated to a bird’s eye view of the action down below with leather settees and tables along a wraparound mezzanine underneath a gorgeous skylight. A bit of modern New York City cool is infused into this hip Parisian hangout with shadowy darkness and splashes of pink and purple light. At the bar, sip on specialty martinis and champagne cocktails, and groove to the DJ’s sensual house music. This is a great date spot for after-dinner cocktails or a sexy place to gab away with your girlfriends and scope out the eye candy at the bar (62, rue Mazarine, 75006, +33 1 53 10 99).
