Gay club paris
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 optimal way to discover out from the locals what’s going on in other gay bars around town. Whether you’re looking to distribute casual drinks, gyrate until dawn, or have a brush with a local Parisian, there’s playfulness to be had any night of the week.
Been there, done that? Ponder again, my friend.

Gay Bars & Clubs in le Marais
Gay bars in Le Marais are part of the pleasurable, they all possess a different design, always busy, some of them disappeared in the past 5 years due to the incredidible rise of genuine estate prices in the Marais. They are often replaced by chic boutiques that makes a strange mixity. Still the Marais keeps its soul and we, at PARISMARAIS support the global diversity of the area. After the covid crisis, more bars have closed down, but many are resisting, some trying to seduce a new clientele.
Size matters - and timetable matters too! People don't travel to the matching places at the same time, so be sure to follow our recommendations for the right time to move out.
