Hotels for TIF

A late-week club night built around one artist's take on rap, R&B and Afro-inflected pop, the kind of bill that pulls a young, phone-ready crowd dressed for the encore as much as the entrance. Expect a set heavy on rhythm and singalong hooks rather than stripped-back ballads, with the crowd doing a fair share of the singing. Thursday timing means an early finish matters less than usual, so the night tends to spill into the small hours.

In the Bercy district of eastern Paris, the Accor Arena is the city's leading indoor venue, its distinctive sloping green roof hosting global music tours, tennis and other sport. The surrounding area blends riverside walks along the Seine with the parks, cinemas and restaurants of Bercy Village. Métro lines 6 and 14 stop right by the arena, linking quickly across the city. Staying nearby or centrally in Paris lets you enjoy the neighbourhood before a show and ride the Métro back with ease.
