La Villette
Glazart is one of Paris's most versatile live and club venues, housed in a former bus depot near the Canal de l'Ourcq in the 19th arrondissement. The complex features a large concert hall, a basement club space, and a sprawling outdoor terrace that hosts summer parties. Genre boundaries are irrelevant here — a single weekend might feature a techno all-nighter, a metal gig, and a drum and bass rave. Glazart's commitment to affordable tickets and genuinely underground bookings has made it a community institution since 1999.
Glazart was founded in 1999 in the culturally rich La Villette district, occupying a converted bus depot that lends the venue its industrial character. It survived the city's periodic crackdowns on nightlife by building strong community ties and diversifying its programme. The venue is consistently ranked among the best alternative clubs in Paris.
