Place de Clichy
At the junction of four arrondissements, Place de Clichy is one of the great crossroads of Parisian nightlife: brasseries open all night, cinemas, theatres and, a stone's throw away, Pigalle and Montmartre. Its column commemorating the defence of Paris in 1814 is topped by a marshal of the Empire.
It is also a must-pass point between the Right Bank and the Batignolles. The atmosphere is popular, cosmopolitan, alive at all hours.
Tip: allow 10 minutes, plus a stop in one of the crossroads' historic brasseries. Combine with Montmartre Cemetery and Rue des Martyrs.
