There are a few reasons to be in Paris this August:

– You’re a crew of four girls (American, Swedish, etc) traveling trough Paris, and you have to whore around for at least a month to be able to tell your friends back in Nebraska that Parisians are incredible lovers.

– You’re stuck in town  and dead broke after three years in a row of unpaid internships at fashion mags–you can’ t even afford to go hang out with your friends and a bag of weed at their grandma’s shitty country house.

– You just got back from your six month trip to India, and are looking to get some Parisian ass, but Baron, Montana, Silencio, etc are closed.

-Or you just realized that you’re the only dickhead in town stuck in an office with no AC, dying of the heat in your sweaty suit. And the only way to handle that situation (without a nervous breakdown) is to drink yourself senseless a few times a week.

So, as a remedy for all such situations (and the above is not an exhaustive list), we have prepared for you our selection of the best places in Paris to dance this August.
