"Thanks for all your helpful advice.
We fancy Les Chandelles, but that seems to be really hard to get into, or Mask. L'Overside, Chateau des Lys, Full Moon and Au 10 Bis also look good. We are undecided about Le Cupidon Club, Le Liberty, Quai 17, Au Lys en L'isle, Au Pluriel and the Dream Studio.
We ruled out 2plus2 because the website looks less professional and, like some others, the decor looks a bit tired, jaded or tacky.
Some of the mixed saunas look inviting, such as Moon City, Amphibi, Eclipse and Star City. Anyone been to any of the hammam saunas?"
Absolutely spot on. Well worth persevering with Les Chandelles I think as it's a great club, which also has a genuienely fantastic restaurant. A few years ago there was even talk of a Michelin Star believe it or not!  Also the 'underground grotto' set-up is just amazing. A jacket and tie and a smattering of French will help guys get past the front desk. If you fancy quite a cool nightclub with a 'diffence' l'Overside is well worth a trip as well - an unassuming gate leading to a fab club, with a somewhat younger age group dancing and, later on, playing...Quai 17 is good fun and similar, but a with a still younger crowd but actually (a lot) less playing...Le Pluriel also worth a look - a labyrinth over about 4 or 5 floors, and usually something going on at any time of the day. Haven't visited in years but l'escapade in the Rue de Regrattier (honestly!) on the Isle de Cite used to be fun. Again the latter used to have a restricted entrance policy, and a jacket and tie always helped - odd..I know...but strangely it seemed to help ensure that suitable people pitched up - some clubs have a free alcohol policy so you can't blame them for screening people or else they'd just have loads of people just turning up for free booze!
I'd avoid the mixed sauns - sadly you get what you pay for in France, and the lower entry price and a less exclusive door policy tends to attract a whole stack of guys who can't get laid, stalk any women visitors and often have serious personal hygiene issues...I kid you not... but then again if you fancy an enforced gang bang with a dozen sweaty, overweight North African waiters it might just appeal
Have a great time - it's a beautiful city, and after a good meal, bottle of wine and stroll along the Seine most of the clubs are an exciting and surpringly stylish end to the evening!
