Nightlife

After the sun sets, head for place Jean-Jaurès, rue de Verdun, and rue des Ecoles Laïques, or walk down rue de la Loge and soak up its carnival atmosphere, watching talented jugglers, mimes, and musicians.

Le Corum (tel. 04-67-61-67-61), the most up-to-date theater in town, books plays, dance recitals, operas, and symphonic presentations. It's in the Palais des Congrès, esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle.

For the best jazz and blues in town, check out JAM, 100 rue Ferdinand-de-Lesseps (tel. 04-67-58-30-30; www.lejam.com).
