Marseille's nightlife is quite varied. There are bars with live rock music, jazz bars, concert halls, theaters, discos and clubs. More information about upcoming events and parties is available at the Virgin Megastore office. Tickets to any of the Provence capital's cultural venues are also on sale here.
A large number of nightclubs in Marseille are concentrated around Boulevard d'Etienne d'Orve and Place Jean Jaurès. The city's most popular disco, Le Bazar, is located in District 8. Trendy DJs play house from Thursday to Sunday.
La Caravelle, a colorful cabaret in the Old Port area, is also interesting to visit. On weekends, a jazz band plays and guests are treated to a plate of free tapas (light snacks).
A spectacular pirate-style venue is Rackham Le Rouge. Themed parties under the Jolly Roger in the wooden interior will transport you to the world of adventure novels.
Taste the best French wine at restaurant club La Trilogie des Cépages, and sing karaoke at Café de la Plage.
La Maronaise is an elite nightclub where local celebrities such as Olympique soccer players and TV personalities often gather. But getting here is not so easy for mere mortals. You have to fit in with the crowd: you have to be fashionably dressed, wear expensive jewelry and have a couple thousand euros in your wallet.
