Any advice for a gay traveler going to Paris?

Going to Paris in a few weeks. Anyone have any information to pass along? Places you`ve gone & shouldn`t be missed? Things that weren`t as awesome as you thought they`d be? Mexico Traveler asked why specify that I`m gay. (Nobody get bent out of shape - it wasn`t asked rudely; ) It`s really case of `if you were you`d understand,` but(!) let me give it a shot.

Yes, I`m interested in knowing about clubs & bars. While that is not the intent of my trip, I am interested in going out at least a couple nights & would like to hear from others like me where they`ve enjoyed going.

Also, there might be places of particular interest to a gay traveler that a non-gay traveler wouldn`t feel was noteworthy. It never hurts to ask.

And finally, unfortunately - & I know this isn`t an issue in Paris - there are some parts of some cities that a gay person should avoid at all costs.

It`s kinda funny that you would ask me this. reason that I specified `gay` is that most of my friends are straight, so most of the travel advice I got was the general tourist stuff; I posted question because I wanted the specific gay experience.

Thanks for asking! Cool - per another poster - my head is shaved!

mensexonly 		What is the importance of saying you are gay traveler? Unless you only want gay themed places; Being gay doesn`t mean you like more gay themed places, does it?

I am sorry, it just seems strange that unless you want to know bars & discos & spots when the men hang out that saying your gay is not necessary. but(!) then again I could be completely wrong.

Your question may be should be asked without saying you are gay & then again mentioning it & comparing the different results; That way you have diverse aspect to your question;

I have never been & I would want to know both sides; Both straight & gay;

I hope you have Fun & Enjoy. Good Luck!

charliegay 		Paris is very gay friendly city.

The center of gay life is in the historic heart of the town called Le Marais in 4th arrondissement but(!) Gays are generally welcome everywhere;

Walk down any of the following streets in Marais, rue Ste-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie, rue des Archives, rue Vieille du Temple & you will immediately recognize friendly territory. Open Cafe on corner of rue St Croix Bretonnerie & rue des Archives, has almost become an institution as the axis of the Marais life.

One thing that most gay visitors immediately notice about the Paris scene, is that it`s largely dominated by a crowd of trendy young, buffed bunnies, typically many with shaven heads (cran rase);

this website will tell you want you need to know:http://www. parismarais; com/gay-paris-le-marais. htm

If you can read French you may find this site useful:http://citegay. fr/

NB: Amusingly, original gay venues were found on Rue des Mauvais Garcons. the street of naughty boys. (the name actually dates from the 16th century. ) Have your picture taken in front of a street sign bearing the name;

NB2:Go to Pierre Lachaise cemetery & pay homage to Edith Piaf, French equivalent of Judy Garland.

NB3: a bar you might enjoy:

Bar du Palmier
16, rue des Lombards
Tél. 01 42 78 53 53
Metro:Châtelet/Les Halles
A video of the place:http://www. paris-zoom; com/place. asp?P=Bar+du+Palmier&H=video#VIDEO

gopbol 		I am not gay so I can not give `good adresses` but(!) I live in Paris & if you go in district `le marais` you will found what you want. Stop at the subway station `hotel de ville` or `Saint Paul`. This district is the gay area of Paris & it is very nice

gaymentop 		lol I haven`t been yet; I`ll be there in March. but(!) from what I`ve been told if you are gay your going to fit right in. (No Offense)
Also, I was told that if you go to the smaller towns in Paris like where college`s are that restaurants & all of that stuff is alot cheaper & there are more people that actually speak English. I know when I`m there I`m forsure seeing, Tower De Eiffle, Notre Dame, Le Louvre- Just the main hits! Have lotsa fun-Also I was told to try to be 1 of the last people at night going up Eiffle Tower cause When it lights up when It`s dark out & your in it I`ve heard It`s the best thing ever!

Have fun! :-)
