Paris gay bars and club guide

Paris gay bars, clubs and saunas

Paris mixes café culture with late-night energy. The Marais is the center, with bars and clubs that stay busy until morning. Expect small wine bars, drag shows, and dance floors filled with locals and travelers.

Gay bars in Le Marais

Most gay bars in Paris are found in the Marais. Terraces fill in the evenings, perfect for a glass of wine or people-watching. Inside, you’ll find everything from relaxed lounges to lively karaoke spots. The cruise bars can be found a bit further on this page.

Gay Dance Clubs

Parisian clubs run late, with peak hours after midnight. Expect big rooms with pop or house, drag performances, and themed parties. The Paris gay club scene moved mostly to parties instead of fixed regular nights.
