Gay clubs paris
Paris is a European capital for all things queer and fabulous, from extravagant local personalities to a neighborhood teeming with addresses for a night of cavorting. The Marais, centrally-located just north of the Hôtel de Ville and south of the Place de la République, is the epicentre for nightlife catering to boys and men of all walks, but it’s just the beginning. Starting an evening in or around the Marais is the leading way to find out from the locals what’s going on in other gay bars around town. Whether you’re looking to share casual drinks, sway until dawn, or own a brush with a local Parisian, there’s playfulness to be had any night of the week.

About Paris and its gay life
Paris is certainly one of the top 3 travel destinations in Europe, and for the storyteller of these lines it is the most pretty one. Considering how many wonderful cities in Europe had been destroyed in the last war and didn't gain their former beauty and fame, yet, after 80 years, Paris is truly a treasure and miracle.
You could stay in Paris for months or attend Paris again and again, and you would still see other beautiful and interesting spots if you explore the city with curiosity and open eyes. Just stroll around a bit and do not only follow the routes in your travel instruction book.
If you come to Paris not only to visit the Louvre and other sights but wanna dive into the Parisian life, then try to avoid August. Many Parisians take their long vacations in August and some companies are even completely closed. In the gay scene even the most popular lgbtq+ clubs and bars won't be very crowded or will be empty or closed.
The homosexual center of Paris is the Marais, an antique district in the 4th arrondisse
