How to be gay in Paris – in the daytime
Travelling solo, but want to socialise?
Gay bars have always been hubs to find and hang with fellow queers. In the digital era, there’s an app for that: Lex.
Lex is not only for dating; you can utilize it to locate LGBTQIAP+ events and arrange meet-ups with Lex community members near you (where better to get recommendations than from a local trans guy you met on the app?).
Alternatively, you can get your social and cultural fix with tours run by Paris Gay Village and The Gay Locals – or get amongst gay-owned wine and food experiences at We Taste Paris.
Maybe just an apéro?
So, what about those times when you’re keen for a tipple, but not pledged to a night out? Head to La Mutinerie in the 3rd arrondissement.
La Mutinerie is a self-managing collective that runs a bar-slash-queer-feminist space designed as an inclusive spot in Paris for “reflection and collective struggles against oppression”. More of a community corner than a bar, La Mutinerie offers a wholesome and safe way to rub shoulders with local LGBTQIAP+ Parisians when
Gay Paris
Paris is a city of pleasure, and gay Paris is no different. From delectable meal and rooftop cocktail bars to a collection of the planet’s most culturally significant institutions, Paris is a must-visit for fans of the finer things in life. Few cities have exerted such an influence on the wider world, and the capital remains an epicenter of political, financial, and artistic innovation.
With high-end boutiques, pastel-colored patisseries, and exceptional bookshops, gay districts don’t verb much more glamourous than Paris’ Le Marias. You’ll find some of the world’s best-dressed people pounding the pavements in Le Marais, and you’ll also encounter a gay scene with something to offer any LGBTQ+ traveler. Whilst the whole of Le Marais is very gay, most of the best gay bars and clubs in Le Marais can be found on Rue des Archives.
Paris is synonymous with shopping. You can spend many hours in the big department stores like Printemps and Galeries Lafayette which are conveniently located next to each other at Boulevard Haussmann 40 and 64 respectively. The main gay shopping street is
Paris is a European capital for all things gay 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 best way to discover out from the locals what’s going on in other gay bars around town. Whether you’re looking to share casual drinks, dance until dawn, or contain a brush with a local Parisian, there’s fun to be had any night of the week.
Been there, done that? Ponder again, my friend.
