32F from NYC, coming to Paris solo in December. I’m really into electronic music, techno, minimal, house, genre-bending stuff and have Essaim on my list.

I’m mainly curious where people in their late 20s/30s actually go dancing in Paris. I’m not looking for an 18–22 crowd or a super mainstream place.. much more interested in places where people are genuinely there for the music.

Also, is going out solo pretty normal in Paris, particularly as a woman? I do it in NYC and am very comfortable on my own, but I speak pretty minimal French, so curious whether that makes any difference.

Essaim seems up my alley, but would love other recommendations too for a 30+ crowd and a music-first dance floor.
