Weekend evenings fill up with groups
Bowling in Paris is mostly an evening, group affair, and on Friday and Saturday nights lanes go quickly to office parties and birthday groups. Walk-ins are easiest early in the evening or midweek. Opening hours differ from alley to alley and change with the season, so check ahead before a late trip, especially on a Sunday. You pay per game per person, plus shoe hire at most places, and prices usually rise at weekends and in the evening.
