Once the main venue in Paris for rock concerts, the Zénith now has more competition in landing the big shows. Nevertheless, this whimsical, tent-like structure still hosts a good number of the international groups that come to town. Get there early for a walk in the intriguing Parc de la Villette—-the Zénith is practically on the park grounds. With its 8000 seats and its perfect acoustics, this place is perfectly suited for big musical concerts.
