The Venues

- Workshop – Large gay-friendly cafe and bar with a busy street terrace.
- Les Caves – A performance and event space. From the 17th century, the Caves Saint-Sabin were originally the cellars of a stately home in Bastille.

The venue is transformed to host the Fetish & Bondage Experience and the Paris Full Fetish main event.
