Bachata in France

Discover Bachata dancing events across 14 cities in France

Bachata in France centers on Paris, which alone hosts 14 of the country's 34 weekly events. Smaller but steady scenes run in Marseille, Bordeaux, Lyon and Cannes, plus other cities across the map. Wednesday is the strongest night nationwide, closely followed by Friday, and you can find a social almost every day of the week. Bachata sits alongside a large salsa scene of similar size, with kizomba and zouk also present, so many socials mix styles on the same floor. Paris venues like La Pachanga run several nights each week. If you only have one weekend, base it in Paris, then check the festival list below, since France also runs bigger bachata weekenders through the year.
