La Clairière — Restaurant in Paris

I attended Bresh at La Clairière in Paris.

Security were rude and inconsistent. Despite wearing elegant sandals, I was stopped at the entrance and told I couldn’t enter unless I changed shoes – after traveling over an hour to get there. When we calmly asked for an explanation, we were accused of being "rude", when it was actually the staff who were aggressive and dismissive, especially towards women. They tried to explain that it was because of the uneven flooring, but then changed their mind saying the reason was because it was a “club” and it would have been okay if I had a back strap. They told me to go home and change, then segregated us in a separate area whilst they asked the manager if he would allow me to go in. After 10 seconds, they let us in and didn’t even look again at my shoes - I was just let in. It was distressing, pointless and a complete abuse of power. They also called my friend rude because he accidentally ignored staff when he didn’t realise they were talking about him and subsequently to him. He explained that he didn’t realise they were talking to him, but it was preceded by him being lectured to about his “attitude.” When we finally got let in there were lots of girls wearing heels, sandals and one wearing kitten heel sandals. Their justification of what the rules were didn’t seem to apply to everyone - just who they felt like applying them to.

There was no dress code mentioned. Nothing on the ticket or event description said anything about footwear or clothing restrictions. Yet people were being turned away for subjective and inconsistent reasons – even though they were dressed stylishly.

It’s honestly not worth the money. The event is expensive and you don’t know if you’ll get...

Was there last weekend for Salut C'est Cool and I had a BLAST 🔥🔥🔥 People complaining about the sound not being loud enough must be 1. either deaf (that's why you gotta wear earplugs at parties young fellas, unless you want to lose your hearing capacity before retirement) or 2. expect the sound to be the same as in a CLOSED place. It's open air guys, the sound doesn't sound the same and it is NORMAL 🤷‍♀️ To be fair, I was very satisfied with the sound volume despite wearing earplugs and standing rather at the bottom of the crowd.

We didn't wait long in the queue, staff was friendly. Yes the crowd is rather young and immature but at least they know how to have fun, they're not just standing on the dancefloor, a drink in their hand and shaking their head. 🙄

As a woman, what a delight not to wait to go to the toilet!! Big + of this venue. And there was security at the bathroom's entrance to manage unruly people (much appreciated) 👍

Would totally come back and recommend...

Very cool area being in the forest and stuff, but unfortunately the sound is god awful. Like it’s impossible to hear anything unless you are under the stage and still there is practically no low-end (tiny speakers!).

To make matters worse it’s nearly impossible to be by the stage as the venue is overcrowded! So either you can dance and breathe, but not listen to the music OR kind of hear the music but be constantly pushed and shoved by everyone else trying to hear even a single decibel of noise.

Such a shame, this venue would have so much potential if they didn’t overcrowd and actually bought real speakers / hired a sound consultant.

Also I have no faith in buying tickets sooner than before the event because if it’s not sold out they will just put out a promo code (it’s always just “clairiere”) the day of so you can either get free entry or 50% off a ticket. Kind of a stab in the...
