Gay Paris
 
We will be in paris for Christmas. Are there any special gay celebrations at Christmastime? Thanks, Brian & Pierce

Yes there is, it's called the topsy turvy celebration. In this gay paris tradition, he who is usually on top, get's to be on the bottom! Doesn't it sound thrilling? If you'd like to know more, just ask!

Lived in Paris for a couple of years but do not know of any specific activities at Christmantime. Do check out the clubd in the Marais for info on shows, dance events, etc. that might be going on. There are always plenty of flyers and guides with calenders of events. Enjoy!

As every disco or bar in town, be it gay or straight, throws a specific party, you might check the local gay weeklies "e-male" or "illico", to see the listings. They are available at any Marais bar (out every Thursday). Otherwise, you can always try your luck during the big Champs-Elysées bash, when every one is on the street and very drunk !

Thanks for the responses! We will hit a burlesque show. In the US they have Men's choruses that have performances during the holidays so I thought maybe there was something unique to Paris and Gay at Christmas. Thanks Again! <BR>Brian
