The Sunset and Sunrise are for true jazz lovers. Tiny club (and generally crowded) with great music. Come at the second set rather than at the first set to let the atmosphere warm up.

The Duc des Lombards is excellent as well. The room is small and the visibilty can be poor from where you are seated.

The New Morning has a much bigger size (but visibility can be bad either). Jazz but also world music tours in the living and cosmopolite 10th arrondissement.



The Bilboquet? It is close to the Bel Ami hotel, but not part of it.
Good music, in an elegant atmosphere (but more for having a late drink than for jazz lovers)
