6Chez Raspoutine
This trendy Russian-themed nightclub is a former luxury bordello turned cabaret, once frequented by ‘tout Paris’, including Gainsbourg.
Once favored by golden age Hollywood—Gary Cooper, Rita Hayworth, and her then-husband, Prince Aly Khan. Nowadays it’s still attracting a young, rich crew into its red velvet, pink-neoned, Byzantine-style interior, for nightlong parties.
To name a few: Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, French star Jean Dujardin, numerous Rothschilds, and the good-looking sons of the present Aga Khan.
Once inside, you completely forget that you’re just off the Champs-Elysees. Club’s decor is listed on the inventory of historic monuments. Champagne, cocktails, club, dancing.
