Gay Guide Paris
Paris is legendary for its breathtaking architecture and cultural lifestyle, thanks to the many museums and theatres as skillfully as the romantic historical centre on the river Seine. Each year over 36 million tourists attend the French metropolis. Paris is a cosmopolitan and extremely tolerant city, unlocked to the gay and lesbian lifestyle. Here you will find everything on offer: from bars, same-sex attracted saunas, sex clubs or other meeting places for gay men. The annual Gay Pride is one of the largest of its kind in Europe, where even the homosexual mayor of Paris is a participant. Discover and enjoy the exciting lgbtq+ life of Paris, until recently only in the "Marais" area, where most of the initial male lover places were to be found. Nowadays the lgbtq+ scene is spread out throughout the city. Even though the bars are often open until the early hours of the morning, take into account that the Métro (underground) has no service between 1am and am and a taxi or nighttime bus is the alternative. Even though the weather is sometimes somewhat grey and rainy, Paris remains one of the more important travel desti
The Perfect Gay Day

9 AM. The best way to get around the Marais, if not on foot, is by bike. You can rent a bike by the day or by the week at Paris Bike Tour or apply Velib, the municipal system, or the free-floating rental companies. Don't park just anywhere, respect the red lights and use the spaces dedicated to this use. Paris is not yet Amsterdam and Parisians are not very attentive with cyclists!

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 call on 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 manual book.
