Gay Bars & Clubs in le Marais

Gay bars in Le Marais are part of the amusing, they all have a other style, always busy, some of them disappeared in the past 5 years due to the incredidible rise of real 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.

Gay Nightlife in Paris

The Marais district is without a doubt the hub of gay Paris but this city has plenty to offer gay visitors so by no means limit yourself to one neighborhood.

The Parisian perspective on sexual orientation is so relaxed it is almost non-existant and some of the city’s hottest night-spots are gay oriented.

Some formally gay-only clubs have mainstreamed slightly, but there are still more than enough to choose from.

In the Marais the narrow streets are packed with gay bars, cafés, shops, restaurants, hotels - basically all you could ever need.

The rude Parisian stereotype extends to the gay community as well so don't get it personally if your advances get re-buffed. Below is a list of our top nightspots in gay Paris:

3W Kafé
Relaxed and elegant lesbian block. Try the cocktails, you will not regret it. 5.30pm – 2am (4th arrondissement).

Folie’s Pigalle
Mixed male lover and straight public. Paris' only transsexual themed evening takes place here on Sunday nights. 6pm - dawn (9th arrondissement).

Interface Bar
