TLC Paris Concierge note: Sunset / Sunside is perfect for discovering both traditional and contemporary jazz in one venue. Check the evening programme in advance, as each floor hosts different artists and styles. It's also an excellent starting point for exploring the legendary jazz scene of Rue des Lombards.
Located on the historic Rue des Lombards, Sunset/Sunside is one of Paris’s most iconic jazz clubs, offering a unique dual-level experience in the heart of the city. Surrounded by legendary venues such as Duc des Lombards and close to cultural landmarks like Centre Pompidou, it sits at the core of Paris’s historic jazz scene.
Split across two distinct spaces, Sunset/Sunside caters to different musical moods. The lower level delivers electric jazz with contemporary energy, while the upstairs Sunside offers an intimate setting dedicated to acoustic performances, where clarity and emotion take center stage.
The venue’s atmosphere is both authentic and refined, combining strong musical programming with a warm, immersive environment. Located within easy reach of Forum des Halles and dining destinations such as Au Pied de Cochon, it naturally fits into a Parisian evening that blends culture, gastronomy, and live music.
For those extending their night, nearby stays like Hôtel Madame Rêve provide a stylish and centrally located base.
For a true jazz experience in Paris, Sunset/Sunside remains a defining address — where tradition, innovation, and atmosphere come together in perfect harmony.
