Rock Route in Paris, France

Explore Paris’ vibrant rock scene and discover legendary venues like the Olympia, where iconic artists such as Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles have performed. The French capital has inspired numerous musicians who left their mark on European and global music history.

In addition to the concert you’re planning to attend, if you have a few extra days in Paris, consider taking a rock tour around the city. For fans of live music bars, don’t miss Temple Rock Tavern, where the music lineup spans from pop-rock to metal.

Jim Morrison, the poet and lead singer of the American band The Doors, lived in the “City of Light” just months before passing away on July 3, 1971. He is buried at Père-Lachaise, Paris’ largest cemetery, which is also the final resting place of many French and international celebrities.

Record and CD collectors can visit Crocodisc, a traditional store in the Latin Quarter, perfect for hunting down rare LPs and music treasures.

Paris also boasts some music-themed hotels, such as Pley Hotel and Idol Hotel, offering a unique experience for rock fans and music lovers alike.
