- République and Oberkampf – Best for nightlife beyond the gay village. Good for restaurants, late drinks and transport, with the northern Marais within walking distance from République.
- Sentier and the 2nd arrondissement – Best for combining Pride with sightseeing. Central, well connected and convenient for restaurants around Rue Montorgueil, without staying directly above the Marais bars.
