Le Marais gay bar famous for the Shower Show with dancers behind glass
Le Raidd is the Marais bar built around a spectacle: the Shower Show, running since 2003, where male dancers get wet in a glass tank set into the wall, nightly around midnight. Around that, the whole room is the show, gogos and DJs working a podium and shirtless bartenders pouring at the bar. It's one of the most internationally known gay bars in Paris, the kind of address that lands on every visitor's list, and it leans fully into that reputation. Expect a packed, high-energy crowd of locals and travelers, with themed nights like Disco Tuesdays and Brazilian Wednesdays giving the week some shape. The early evening is the calmer window before the dancers and the crush take over later on. It's a watch-the-show, stay-for-the-party bar rather than a quiet conversation spot, so come for the spectacle and the late hours.

Cherry Grove is where gay America summered before there was a word for it. Here's the complete guide to Fire Island's original queer hamlet — its history, its drag-soaked nightlife, where to stay and eat, the beach, and how it differs from the Pines next door.
