It is the end of more than a decade of celebrations, parades of stars, rhinestones and sequins. The VIP Room on rue de Rivoli in Paris (I) will not reopen. Installed for twelve years in an old theater refurbished on three floors, with its lounge bar and its Italian restaurant, the nightclub is even about to be sold. Inside, the boxes are piled up, the light structures of the great room are lowered, some old confetti that still strewn on the ground will be swept away ...
The owner of the place, Jean Roch, figure of the night world, decided to cut the sound permanently after several difficult years. “For five years, Paris has no longer been a celebration. The attacks of November 2015 sowed fear and anguish. It was very hard for us. And then there were the yellow vests every Saturday, strikes that lasted a whole winter. The Covid-19 crisis will have finished us ”, sums up the one we nicknamed in the middle, the“ Little Prince of the night ”.
On the other hand, the other Vip Room in Saint-Tropez will continue to devastate the Var nights. The establishment in the south of France should reopen in early June, with the implementation of barrier measures.
