The spring of 2026 promises to be particularly electric for night owls and the curious. Between mythical clubs reborn and new venues designed to keep the party going until the end of the night, Paris welcomes a series ofopenings openings. Here’s our selection of addresses not to be missed this season.

La Main Jaune, the return of an 80s legend

A symbol of Parisian nightlife in the 80s, this discotheque in the 17th arrondissement closed its doors in 2003. Having become France’s first roller disco, it remained abandoned for over twenty years. Thanks to a call for projects from the City of Paris, this emblematic venue is now preparing to be reborn in a new form.

Opened in 1980, La Main Jaune left its mark on an entire generation. The cult scene from the film La Boum by Claude Pinoteau, in which Sophie Marceau sets the dancefloor alight with the legendary slow song “Reality”. This memory remains engraved in the collective memory of Parisians.

“In Paris, the night and the party have never said their last word.”

The transformation includes a concert hall, recording studios, bars and a restaurant. This new creative hub is scheduled to open its doors in spring 2026with no exact date yet specified.

Located in the heart of the Adidas Arena in the 18th arrondissement, Central Chapelle is already proving to be one of the most ambitious of these openings. Spanning 3,500 sq. m., the venue will combine music, food and culture in an open, ultra-contemporary spirit.

Four street food counters, a central bar, a concert-club room and terraces make up the space. A multidisciplinary space created by Adidas completes the offer. Central Chapelle will be as much an extension of Arena events as a destination in its own right.
