Nearly every city has an institution that serves as its clubbing backbone. London has Fabric, Berliners boast about Berghain/Panorama Bar and in Paris they love Rex Club. Originally opened in 1988 but dedicated to dance music for over 20 years, it's not only heritage that makes this club France's crucial pick.

Much like other revered establishments across the world, The Rex relies on an excellent stock of residents. The likes of Dyed Soundorom, D'Julz and Jennifer Cardini all made their name here, while Laurent Garnier has had numerous stints as a resident at the club. With recent bookings like Claude VonStroke, Radioslave, Axel Boman and a custom-built soundsystem with 64 speakers lining the ceiling, it's no surprise at all to see Rex Club once again listed as one of the world's leading clubs.
