How to enjoy the night

Look at the map for the neighbourhoods on the route and pick one or two rather than trying to see everything. The most iconic spots draw dense crowds early in the evening: start later in the night, or in a less central neighbourhood. Keep an eye out for places that are normally closed and open for the occasion, such as municipal swimming pools or administrative buildings. To get home, check the night schedules of the metro and Noctilien buses on the RATP website beforehand.
