Four of us jazz lovers visited Caveau de la Huchette on a recent trip to Paris hoping to hear some…read moregreat music on the Left Bank. We arrived there about 10:30 on a Sunday night. Success on that score, but all too brief. Unfortunately, the venue was terrible. This place is obviously interested in collecting as many admissions fees as possible, and unconcerned about the safety of its patrons. The music area was jam packed, with standing room only, and people were literally pressed into one another to the point that it was not only impossible to move, but also difficult to breathe. . And the box office was still selling admissions! Apparently, there's no fire code here. It's super uncomfortable, but if you don't have a loved one to press your body up against, maybe this place is your cup of tea. My group left after about 15 minutes. Bottom line: great music, safety hazard, super uncomfortable and nerve-wracking. Do not recommend.

Caveau de la Huchette is one of those iconic spots you want to love--and there's definitely a lot…read moreto like--but our experience had a few hiccups that kept it from being a full 5 stars. We got there early to line up, but were told by someone to wait across the street, which made things a bit confusing from the start. Once inside, there wasn't much direction or signage about where to go for the stage or where the band would actually be performing. We ended up upstairs kind of waiting around without clarity. When we finally found a spot, the view was pretty obstructed. People would stop on the stairs to watch, which ended up blocking anyone behind them, and the overall setup just didn't feel as smooth or well-organized as we expected (keep in mind this venue is mainly underground). That said, the music itself was great and the energy on the dance floor made it fun once things got going. The location--right by Notre-Dame Cathedral--also adds to the experience. Not perfect, but still a memorable night.
