Gay tour of Paris and Louvre Museum

Paris is home to one of Europe’s largest gay scenes and is a wealth of culture and art that is second to none. France has a very advanced legislation when it comes to LGBT rights and Paris has been a very cosmopolitan and laissez-faire city for a very long time. The city offers an incredibly rich choice when it comes to LGBT art and culture, nightlife and entertainment. Paris’ gay quarter - the centrally located Marais, is the perfect place to explore.

Start from the Louvre Museum where you will follow the gay history of many French and European artists. This is a very astonishingly Gay museum. From ancient Greek and Roman times, to the Italian Renaissance, where they were also often smiled at. The Louvre’s massive Greek vase collection is particularly rich in homoerotic themes, as are its Roman and Italian collections.

You'll continue the tour in the Marais District, the new trendy area with cool individual fashion boutiques and a hidden food market. Afterwards, you'll stroll along Canal Saint Martin, a hip area where many gay people have moved to in recent years, with fun street art, cool cafes and a design bookshop plus walking along the historic canal where boats still sail on.
