Paris: LGBTQ+ Tour in the Marais with Guide｜France

Paris has always sold itself as the city of love.
But whose love stories actually get remembered?
On this queer walking tour through the Marais, we’ll uncover the hidden — and not-so-hidden — LGBTQ+ history of Paris: from aristocratic gossip and coded desire to drag culture, activism and modern queer life.

We’ll stroll through one of Paris’ most beautiful neighbourhoods while discussing:
-> queer life from the monarchy to today
-> the evolution of LGBTQ+ rights in France
-> hidden cruising spots and coded queer spaces
-> AIDS activism and community organising
-> the differences between French, American and British queer cultures
-> why Paris can feel both liberating… and complicated

Along the way we’ll stop at iconic places including:
-> Place des Vosges
-> Place des Combattantes-et-Combattants-du-Sida
-> Rue du Plâtre
-> Centre LGBT Paris-Île-de-France
