I’m going to be having a long weekend in Paris this June to celebrate my birthday and wondered if people had any suggestions? I’m hoping to do a 4/5 star hotel given it’s my big 3-0 and I’ll be splashing out, and of course I’ll use the usual sites to check places out and try and get a deal, but if anyone has personal experience with good hotels in central Paris that would be great.
I’m hoping to hit some clubs whilst there too so any suggestions for that gratefully received as well (particularly gay clubs - hoping to get some tail whilst I’m there!).
There were quite a few clubs along the Champs Elysee, if I remember correctly, and the rather expensive “Queens” might’ve been a gay one (or at least had gay nights).
Someone else should soon come along with better advice…
You might want to check this site (it includes addresses of gay bars, clubs, etc…links somewhere down the page)
Apart from that, a part of “Le Marais” (go east from the Pompidou Modern Art Museum) is the closest to a “gay district” in Paris (mostly bars, not clubs, though).
Oh! And for advices about hotels (not for cheap hotels or hostels) , I would as usual advise to check fodors’ europe forums : you should be able to get great advices.
Don’t bother asking there about gay life, though, IMO. This would rather be the realm of lonelyplanet’s forums, if they still have a gay forum (didn’t visit the site in a long while).
