The gay community of Paris
Apr 23rd, 2009 by apartmentblogger
Paris is a very tolerant and open minded city where you can express your personality without any problems. It has many gay or gay friendly locals, mostly located near the district of “arrondissements”, on the right bank of the Seine, near Châtelet and Hôtel de Ville. While the main meeting place for the gay community is at the heart of the Marais district (Fourth District).
Most gay bars and places are located in the heart of the historic town of Le Marais (the swamp). Here you’ll find many bars, restaurants and all kind of shops. Tourists visiting the historic district of Marais will see that is full of gay couples and lesbian women that enjoy their stay in complete freedom and tranquillity.
It would be fantastic to stroll around the rue des Rosiers and the Rue Vieille du Temple, the Temple Square, and discover all its charm: there is a mix of different communities and cultures. You’ll find Jews, Arabs and Asians living here along with a large number of artists, designers and intellectuals. The gay presence in the area called “pink triangle” is very strong, between the Rue Beaubourg and Rue Vieille du Temple. This is the heart of the crazy nights in Paris and also a good place to go shopping.
The local women have gone through an important change in the last few years, as well as a rapid evolution, and now they are accepting the presence of men. All this represents a real innovation! The Rue des Ecouffes in the south of the Marais has become a very interesting centre for gay women: there are many lesbian bars, shops and even a sexy shop just for them.
The life of gay people in Paris is very pleasant because they live in a beautiful city where people are tolerant. They can stroll hand in hand without any problems because people in Paris see it as a normal thing.
Here the gay tourist will find many bars, saunas and other gay meeting places. Paris is the capital of creativity! Depending on the different tastes, there are thousands of shop windows filled with design items or antique furniture, ideas for shopping or the latest collections of the most important designers of the world.
Paris is also the city of gastronomy. If you are part of the gay world or you would like to try new things, there are many gay friendly restaurants: Au Petit Tonnelier, A Casinha da Maria, Artishow, Gai Moulin.Le, and Au P’tit Canaillou to name a few.
