Pink Paradise

An institution near the Champs-Élysées

Pink Paradise set up shop on rue de Ponthieu more than twenty years ago and remains a benchmark for Parisian striptease. The club was founded by David Guetta with Joanna and Muratt Atik, which quickly earned it a reputation that goes well beyond the Champs-Élysées neighborhood alone.

People come here as much for a night out with friends as for a corporate event or a full private buyout of the venue. The club also runs regular themed nights.

Atmosphere and setting

The place plays the chic and glamorous card rather than the neighborhood bar vibe. Bar, restaurant and private VIP lounges share the space, with a live DJ setting the pace for nightly shows performed by dancers from several countries.

The crowd is mixed, you'll find couples as well as singles, men and women, here for the atmosphere rather than for a strictly guys-only night out.

Prices and package

Admission is set at 45 euros and includes two drinks, which is on the higher end for this type of venue in Paris. A lap dance costs 35 euros.

• Admission: 45 euros (two drinks included)
• Lap dance: 35 euros
• Private VIP lounges available
• Private buyouts and events on request

Hours and access

Pink Paradise is open Monday to Saturday from 10:30pm to 6am, closed on Sundays. The address, 36 rue de Ponthieu in the 8th arrondissement, puts the club just a few minutes' walk from the Champs-Élysées, a well-served area that stays lively all night long.

For a private buyout or an event, it's best to reach out directly rather than showing up without a reservation, given how small the VIP lounges are.

What regulars say

Reviews of the club are overwhelmingly positive, especially regarding the quality of the performances and the professionalism of the dancers. The welcome and service are often mentioned as strong points.

A few reviews point to high prices, but most customers feel that the venue's prestige and atmosphere justify the final bill.
