Paris club owners: "Nothing and no one will stop us from dancing"

The city's clubs will return to business after last week's violent attacks

Paris nightclubs are set to reopen this weekend, having been closed as a result of last Friday's gunfire and explosions at Le Bataclan and in other areas around the French capital.

Owners of Rex Club (pictured), La Machine Du Moulin Rouge and Batofar are among those to issue a joint statement declaring "no one and nothing will stop Paris dancing".

It also said: "Music, dancing, sharing, meeting, social bonds [and] diversity are values that we carry and that these terrorists have targeted for destruction."

According to RA, there have been recommendations for there to be a minimal amount of people outside of the venues, just one of many additional security procedures to be implemented.

Badaboum, Batofar, Djoon, Faust, Glazart, Gibus, Java, Le Queen, Social Club, Showcase, Virgo, Wanderlust, YoYo - Palais De Tokyo and Zig Zag will also return to business as normal.
