Gay Bars & Clubs in le Marais
Gay bars in Le Marais are part of the fun, they all have a alternative 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. After the covid crisis, more bars hold closed down, but many are resisting, some trying to seduce a fresh clientele.
Size matters - and timetable matters too! People don't go to the same places at the same time, so be sure to follow our recommendations for the right time to go out.
