Duplex

We couldn't visit Paris and not dabble in the nightlife there. So, when Friday night rolled around, we headed to the Duplex discotheque. The club is near the Arc de Triomphe, and we got a beautiful look at the monument, with the Eiffel Tower shining in all its glory in the distance.



We had heard that Duplex was a four-story club with different music on each floor. The group of us that left for the club earlier in the night lucked out--well, just the girls at least--because we were expecting to pay anywhere from 20-25 euros just to get in, but girls ended up getting in free. We were pretty excited about that, haha.



When we first got there, the club was fairly empty, especially compared to the flood of people that crowded the dance floor by the end of the night. Whenever we wanted to move to a different place, we would all hold hands and there'd be a whole line of us meandering our way through the mass of people, trying to fit through openings that were sometimes entirely too small to fit through, haha.



The night flew by, maybe a little too fast--we were having so much fun. I was so surprised when I found out that it was almost 4 in the morning as we were leaving. We made our way back near the Arc de Triomphe and got a taxi on the Champs-Élysées. When all was said and done, I didn't get to bed until 5am, but luckily we didn't have an early wake-up call, so we were able to sleep in.
