Lille
Central Lille's hottest club has two dance floors, three bars, plenty of flashing lights and space for 700 revellers. On most nights the music is three-quarters house and electronic and a quarter R&B. Dress up as the door policy is pretty strict. Admission ranges from free to €15 (including a drink), depending on what's happening.
On Sunday there are free beginner salsa lessons at 7.30pm and a soirée salsa from 8.30pm to 12.30am.
