Gay Guide Paris

Paris is famous for its breathtaking architecture and cultural lifestyle, thanks to the many museums and theatres as well as the romantic historical centre on the river Seine. Each year over 36 million tourists check in the French metropolis. Paris is a cosmopolitan and extremely tolerant city, expose to the homosexual and lesbian lifestyle. Here you will find everything on offer: from bars, gay saunas, sex clubs or other meeting places for gay men. The annual Gay Lgbtq+ fest is one of the largest of its kind in Europe, where even the gay mayor of Paris is a participant.

About Paris and its gay life

Paris is certainly one of the top 3 travel destinations in Europe, and for the author of these lines it is the most beautiful one. Considering how many wonderful cities in Europe had been destroyed in the last war and didn't gain their former beauty and fame, yet, after 80 years, Paris is truly a treasure and miracle.

You could stay in Paris for months or stop by Paris again and again, and you would still see other beautiful and interesting spots if you explore the city with curiosity and open eyes. Just stroll around a bit and do not only follow the routes in your travel instruction book.

If you appear to Paris not only to visit the Louvre and other sights but wanna dive into the Parisian life, then aim to avoid August. Many Parisians take their long vacations in August and some companies are even completely closed. In the gay scene even the most popular gay clubs and bars won't be very crowded or will be empty or closed.

The gay center of Paris is the Marais, an old district in the 4th arrondisse

The Perfect Gay Day

Since , when the city of Paris hosted the Gay Games, and the municipality supported this sporty and festive operation, the streets of the Marais district display rainbow flags everywhere. Street signs also show the colors of the gay flag and crosswalks have been transformed into rainbow crossings, only in some streets and neighboring historical LGBT places, good those that have survived, because they are, as in all Western capitals, less and less numerous. Sign of recognition for some or pure washing and commercial recovery for others They have the merit of indicating that you are in a gay-friendly territory, and that's reassuring!

9 AM. The best way to fetch around the Marais, if not on foot, is by bike. You can rent a bike by the day or by the week at Paris Bike Tour or employ Velib, the municipal system, or the free-floating rental companies. Don't park just anywhere, respect the red lights and use the spaces dedicated to this use. Paris is not yet Amsterdam and Parisians are not very precise with cyclists!
