Good bar crawls with free shots in France fill up on the nights you want them, and the best go first. Below: the 11 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Join Beer&Dash in Nice from 10:10 PM for a five-hour, high-energy crawl through five bars and clubs. Hosts such as Maxime, Rudy, and Max lead drinking games, group challenges, and icebreakers before free VIP entry to a nightclub. Expect an international crowd, fast-track access, and drinks beyond the included shots.
“Maxime was great! I had so much fun celebrating my birthday 💖”
Meet your red-shirted guides at Hostel Villa Saint Exupery Beach, play Beer Pong, then walk through Old Town Nice for four bars and a nightclub.

Guides such as Hugo, Hari, Emilia, and Farrah have led past outings, though the team varies.

You’ll visit three bars and a nightclub with free-poured shots, €5 drink deals, skip-the-line entry, and a wristband for discounts. It suits adults who want an easy, social night out rather than a quiet drink.
“Cool bar crawl! Visited hidden gems of nice with a big group of people. Great discounts on drinks and bunch of free shots !”

“Amazing time in Marseiile! Our host was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and took us to a variety of fun spots. Meet-up was easy and stress-free. My spouse and I are middle-aged; the other participants were all younger people (20s) but we were equally embraced. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!”
You and up to nine companions pedal a rolling bar from 63 Av. de la Grande Armée through Trocadéro, Foch Garden, and the 16th arrondissement. A driver handles the route while you enjoy beer or wine, music through Bluetooth, and views of the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. Captain Mouss has earned praise for keeping the ride lively.
