Senior gay clubs
With most gay bars closing around 2am, even Paris's gay-friendly Marais can appear to lack a short-lived je ne sais quoi. But fear not, delayed night options abound from the Bastille to the Champs-Elysées, so if you're looking for friendly dancing or more intimate encounters, there's a club or soirée for everyone. Searching a mix of Paris's many ethnicities in the old Red Light District? Got that. A thumping club full of adorable people? Got that, too. A nudist party without much light to tend if they're pretty? Obviously. In general, prepare to shell out a cover charge and queue up to enter, but once inside, these parties are guaranteed all-nighters.
Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.
