Paris Jazz (Smoke Free?)

Yes, I realize this may well be a fantasy question. But are there any jazz clubs in Paris where the smoke isn%26#39;t too bad. Also, we are not night owls. Are there any places that have good performances earlier in the evening?

Since you are IN Paris, get a copy of one of the weekly what%26#39;s on like Pariscope, L%26#39;Officiel or Zurban. They all run Wed-Tue and cost under 1€. Available at every newsstand. Look under concerts and then for jazz.





Some are Le Petit Journal de Montparnasse, Le Bilboquet, L%26#39;Arbuci, Caveau de la Huchette, Duc des Lombards, etc.



Concerts hardly start 9:30 or 10 PM. As for the smoking issue, well depends on the crowd, I%26#39;d say. Le Petit Journal is pretty large and has large windows. Problably better than the places located in cellars.

... hardly start before...

The alternative is to look for a jazz brunch... I didn%26#39;t retain any details but I%26#39;ve seen listings... check Bilboquet, also (can%26#39;t see right this second if that was given in the responses..)

Universal Cafe on St Jacques (near Val de Grace) is a smoke free jazz club, but I dont know the hours.
