- Mensch – The best gay place in Paris for cruising and BDSM. No dress code required, from naked to full gear, sportwear and fetish.
- One Way – Old-school gay bar with smoking area & a back room. The underground level has a video room and dark corners.
Getting around
- Most Le Marais venues can be reached on foot.
- Hôtel de Ville, Rambuteau, Arts et Métiers and République are the most useful nearby Metro stations.
- Paris Metro services normally finish shortly after midnight on weekdays and run later on Friday and Saturday nights.
- Taxis and ride-hailing services are the easiest option when travelling in full leather or returning after the Metro closes.

Paris, the City of Love, flaunts its vibrant gay scene with panache and elegance. Nestled amidst the historic boulevards and charming bistros, the gay bars, clubs, and cafes offer a blend of classic French culture and Romance, no more so than in Le Marais, the city’s primary gay neighbourhood, while the popular 10th and 11th arrondissements are just a 10 to 15 minute walk away.
Less touristy than Le Marais, the 11th is known for its eclectic hipster mix of bars and music venues.
Emerging hotspot for the LGBTQ+ community with a more laid-back feel; home to the scenic Canal Saint-Martin.
