Paris Gay Bars
The main gay bars in Paris are located in Le Marais gay district, although gay and gay-popular venues are found everywhere in this big city.
Most bars have a regular ‘happy hour’, but this may be for beer only.
Le Marais
One of Paris’ most historic areas, with restaurants, boutiques & art galleries. Le Marais is also the hub of its gay nightlife, with many gay venues near Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie and rue des Archives.

3 Star Winner
One of Paris’ most popular gay bars. Le RAIDD is famous for its Shower Show on Thursdays when several hot, hunky male dancers get wet & wild in a huge aquarium-like tank embedded in the wall.
And if that’s not enough eye candy, then feast your eyes on the gorgeous bar staff. Drinks are reasonably priced, and there’s a cosy lounge area in the basement.
