Meet up with locals, tourists, students, and others, while you go through some of the city’s most happening bars and clubs. You will get to visit 4 bars, the last one being a club. Since drinks in Paris are expensive, you will also get to enjoy four free shots (1 at each venue). If you’re looking to meet new people in the city, the Paris Bar Crawl is the perfect way to do so. When you arrive at the meeting spot, look for an orange umbrella; that’s your troop.
