Studio de l'Ermitage is in Montelimontant - easy to access by metro; to me it was a mixture of where I imagine locals in the know would go, a whiff of old Paris and a private fantasy all rolled into a laid back music venue.

The night I went there was a bal musette, and these are organised on a monthly basis, among an interesting programme of old, new and live music - some partygoers dressed for the occasion to add to the ambience, but if you hadn't, you didn't feel out of place.

The atmosphere was lively, with a fantastic sense of enjoyment and fun. People of all ages danced together and it was a treat to watch and be part of something reflecting the spirit of Paris.

Befriend 'Respect is Burning' on Myspace. (www.myspace.com/respectisburning) - they are the best party throwers in le capital.

Now you're their 'friend' you will know when all the best summer boat parties are. They're rather good and guaranteed to encourage a little dancing. The hippest djs from Paris and beyond guaranteed.
