Lesbian clubs in Paris are less of a rarity than they were ten years ago, but are still relatively few and far between. The pleasures of gay men are far better catered for. While the selection of gay male-oriented establishments listed in this section only scratches the surface, for gay women our listings more or less cover all that's available. Lesbians, however, are welcome in some of the predominantly male clubs. 

Gay clubs' reputation for wild hedonism attracts a fair number of heterosexuals in search of a good time. Many hetorosexuals are indeed welcome in some gay establishments if accompanied, while some clubs have all but abandoned a gay policy; the legendary gay club Le Queen , for example, is only gay on a Thursday now. Equally, some of the more mainstream clubs have started doing gay nights. For a complete rundown of events, consult Em@le (free in gay bars) which has a comprehensive weekly listing of gay nights, or Gai Pied's Guide Gai (published annually) forvenues. Alternatively, tune into Paris's gay radio station RadioFG (98.2 FM), and keep an eye out for flyers.
