My fiance and I, two widowed persons who happily found each other, are looking for somewhere in Paris for slow dancing. Is there such a place?

On Sunday afternoons, there is Salsa and other dance styles going on at the Tino Rossi Jardin, along the Seine. When my spouse and I were there, there was a group doing swing and another doing tango. It is great fun and we had fun joining in!

We have enjoyed Sunday afternoon dancing at several Guinguettes on the Marne and the Seine. This spring we took the train to Chez Fifi on the Marne. It was a mile or so walk along the Marne from the Neilly Plaisance station on the RER A from Gare de Lyon. . But it was fun. and we fit right in. The place seems to be dominated by old regulars -- a little step dancing, a little swing and mostly slow dances. Decent enough food and drink.
We have also been to the Guignettes. Guignette Auvernate and the Guignette Isle Martin Pescher. Here are photos of the these from our earlier trips. They really are great fun.

These last two are easier to get to than the Fifi.

Bets I am not finding that on their website -- do you have a link because that sounds like fun. They obviously cater to a very different crowd evenings so may advertise it separately.

It’s right on the list there.
Ballroom and dances from early in the 20th C used to be every evening, turning mirrored ball in the ceiling, center of the dance floor, but times have changed.
