France Gay Guide

A guide to help you find the best hotels & places in France for Gay travellers

MADE BY TBI HOTEL EXPERTS

Gay Holidays in France

Being one of the most open-minded and gay-friendly countries in the world, France is among the top destinations in Europe for gay holidays. The locals are very friendly and the levels of gay acceptance in the country are fairly high while the majority of the gay rights have been granted to the LGBT community, including same-sex marriage and adoption.

Gay men do not stand out in big cities, mainly because all the men there have the same fashion tastes. In suburbs you will not find the same tolerance and acceptance as in the cosmopolitan areas, as they are firmly driven by family-run traditions and ''coming out'' is hard to be achieved under these conditions. Nevertheless, France has no signs of strong oppressive machismo so gay travellers fancy this destination quite a lot.


Particularly in Paris a ''gaybourhood''  Le Marais thrives, where many exclusively gay establishments are visited daily by many gay locals and travellers. Cities like Cote dAzur,  Marseille and Nice also have a wide variety of gay venues but Paris is the center of them all. Krash BarRAIDD Bar, Full Metal and El Hombre are only some of the amazing gay bars that are situated in the streets of beautiful Paris


France is an alluring country with a plethora activities ideal for every sophisticated taste. No one visits this magical destination for its gay venues but for its picturesque cafe terraces, its village-square markets and the small bistros that garnish every city. A world-know country for its significant artistic character and architecture. 


There is a way of saying in France '' Chacun fait qu'il veut acec son cul...''. People mind their own business, therefore if your behaviour is appropriate no one has a say in your affairs.


The noble and vibrant France is waiting for your visit. Stall no more and check availabilities in our handpicked Hotel Collections!
