Most of Paris’ gay nightlife is concentrated in the trendy area of the Marais, which is also known for its boutique shopping, delicious food, and classically Parisian narrow streets. However, there is also a cluster of popular gay bars in Chatelet (which is close to the Marais) as well as several other venues spread out across the city. Larger dance nights tend to take place further out from the center, and gay saunas can be found throughout Paris.
It is also worth noting that because of Paris’ unique approach to city design, whereby historic buildings are continuously preserved and new builds are practically nonexistent, rooms tend to be on the smaller side. However, this is also what makes Paris such an exceptionally beautiful city, and is after all part of the charm.
Paris is, as a whole, an exceptionally gay-friendly city, meaning you are likely to find mixed gay/straight crowds across the board. France as a whole is very tolerant of homosexuality, with Paris having voted its first openly gay mayor back in 2001. Visitors to gay Paris are unlikely to raise any eyebrows and will be generally welcome.
The most booked hotels for gay travelers are located in Le Marais.
Marais is Paris’s main gay area, a trendy yet classically charming central neighborhood. While the vast majority of establishments are here, there are a few exceptions around the city.
