Living in Paris : Gay Paris!

Gay Paris !

Parisians are highly open to alternative lifestyles and the homosexual community is very much part of the every-day-life here, it is part of the ‘Richesse de Paris’.

There are many famous clubs like the “Queen”, the “Scorp”, and a lot of bars, mostly located in the 4th arrondissement, the Marais, where you can also find the only gay hotel in Paris, the Hôtel Central Marais.

There are also several sports clubs like the first gay football club of Paris, the FC Paris Arc En Ciel www.fcparis-arcenciel.com, the Paris Foot Gay parisfootgay.free.fr, or the only gay rugby club in Paris, Les Gaillards http://www.lesgaillards.org/ all these clubs do of course also welcome heterosexuals who would like to share their passion for these sports.

There is even a real estate agency that specialises in short-term rentals for gay couples and singles and actually hands out the “Gay Guide” that helps non-Parisians find their feet in this scene. http://www.gayhouseparis.com/indexeng.html

Cannes Film Festival, Join the Party !

There are a few things that one would never ever forget. Things that forge one's personality as part of a bigger picture. For instance, Frenchmen are very attached to the Revolution and to the ideals that spread from it, just as Americans would be to the War for Independence, etc...
But hopefully, a nation's pride doesn't only rely on bloodshed ! And the Cannes Film Festival (May 16th - May 27th) is a magnificent and peaceful alternative indeed !

Since its first happening in 1946, the Cannes Film Festival has established itself among the most popular and esteemed cultural manifestations both in France and on the international scale.
Over the years, festivals of that kind have gained an even stronger appeal. And it's a common dream to be in the middle of it, part of the living whirlwind, of the excitement of being were everyone wants to be. What better occasion than the Cannes Film Festival to reach the unreachable...

Dreamers, wake up. Because reality really isn't that bad : the dream is close at hand.
