Paris combines great culture with a relaxed, visible queer scene around the Marais. This is just a rough suggestion of how you could split up a long weekend — adjust everything to your pace and interests.

Trendy district
The Marais is Paris' queer heart: narrow streets, cafés and most of the bars are located around the Rue des Archives and the Rue Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie.
Best time to visit
Spring and early autumn are ideal: mild weather, long evenings and crowded terraces, without the midsummer heat.
Don't Miss
A long walk from Notre-Dame across the banks of the Seine to the Marais — followed by an aperitif on one of the terraces in the district.
