About Paris and its gay life
Paris is certainly one of the top 3 travel destinations in Europe, and for the storyteller of these lines it is the most lovely 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 attend 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 come to Paris not only to visit the Louvre and other sights but wanna dive into the Parisian life, then try 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 same-sex attracted clubs and bars won't be very crowded or will be empty or closed.
The lgbtq+ center of Paris is the Marais, an antique district in the 4th arrondissement of Paris with adorable, narrow streets breathing centuries-old history. You'll fin
Gay Nightlife in Paris
The Marais district is without a doubt the hub of gay Paris but this city has plenty to offer gay visitors so by no means limit yourself to one neighborhood.
The Parisian perspective on sexual orientation is so relaxed it is almost non-existant and some of the city’s hottest night-spots are gay oriented.
Some formally gay-only clubs have mainstreamed slightly, but there are still more than enough to choose from.
In the Marais the narrow streets are packed with gay bars, cafés, shops, restaurants, hotels - basically all you could ever need.
The rude Parisian stereotype extends to the gay community as well so don't grab it personally if your advances get re-buffed. Below is a list of our top nightspots in gay Paris:
3W Kafé
Relaxed and elegant lesbian block. Try the cocktails, you will not regret it. 5.30pm – 2am (4th arrondissement).
Folie’s Pigalle
Mixed lgbtq+ and straight public. Paris' only transsexual themed darkness takes place here on Sunday nights. 6pm - dawn (9th arrondissement).
Interface Bar
Laid back gay exclude near the Gay and Lesbian Centre. Busy even during the day. 3pm - 2am (11th arrondissement).

Paris is a European capital for all things male lover and fabulous, from extravagant local personalities to a neighborhood teeming with addresses for a night of cavorting. The Marais, centrally-located just north of the Hôtel de Ville and south of the Place de la République, is the epicentre for nightlife catering to boys and men of all walks, but it’s just the beginning. Starting an evening in or around the Marais is the foremost way to find out from the locals what’s going on in other gay bars around town. Whether you’re looking to share casual drinks, move until dawn, or possess a brush with a local Parisian, there’s pleasurable to be had any night of the week.
