PARIS  The neighbors do not like the Zero Zero bar, a graffiti-plastered dive on an otherwise sleepy stretch of Rue Amelot, in the 11th Arrondissement. It is not so much the look of the place, they say, or any particular distaste for its youthful clientele. It is the noise.

The neighbors have been known to pelt the Zero Zero’s patrons with eggs and to dump water on their heads from balconies. One man once attacked the revelers below his window with a garden hose.

“It’s insane; the neighbors take us for crazy people,” said Nicolas Dechambre, 26, a co-owner and bartender at the bar.

The club has paid close to $12,000 in fines for street noise in the past year and a half, he said, and has been closed by the police for a cumulative period of nearly two months, the result of complaints from neighbors.
