I can't provide an exhaustive list, but the Marais is one of them.

If your "Gaydar" isn't operating by now then you are either straight or too drunk to care!

Why, all of gay Paree of course!

Check the gay and lesbian portion of the guidebook you purchased for your trip.

You DID buy a guidebook for your trip, didn't you?

New troll this morning, folks.

Check your guidebook AFTER you buy one.

Or at least, visit a library and read for a while.

Google works for gays, too.

Kate W already gave you the answer. The "gayest" part of Paris is the Marais. That's where you'll find the highest concentration of gay bars and cafes ... in the 4th arondissement (and many places also in the 3rd). There are also some gay places near Montmartre. You might look at the web site www.paris-gay.com, which has a lot of listings, though I can't say if they are up to date or not.

"i think it is vondogme, vomdone...something like that??"
Place Vendôme maybe but it is not the same kind (jewellers).

In summer if you walk along the Right Bank of the Seine in vicinity of Louvre you'll see a gay Paris and a blatantly gay side of Gay Paree as many mainly men sunbathing with only scimpy thongs are laying along the river.
