Must-see nightlife in France

  • Café de l’Ormeau

    Côte d'Azur

    This lovely vine-covered cafe terrace in the very heart of Ramatuelle is great for coffee or light meals (mains €15 to €18).

  • L’Esquinade

    St-Tropez

    Where the party winds up when you want to dance until dawn. The Tropéziens’ top choice, it's also distinctly gay-friendly.

  • L'Univers

    Dijon

    This long-standing bar is a bit of a throwback, with a solid soundtrack of '60s and '70s music and extra-long happy hours.

  • VIP Room

    St-Tropez

    New York loft–style club at the Nouveau Port; around for aeons and still lures in the occasional VIP.

  • L’Endroit

    Marseille

    Dive through the tiny door to discover the Vieux Port’s only gay bar. Theme nights include karaoke.

  • Bar Exils

    Strasbourg

    This is student central, with darts and billiards, well-worn sofas and plenty of cheap beer on tap.

  • La Lune Poivre

    Sarlat-la-Canéda

    Sidle up to the copper bar at this local hang-out with great cocktails and occasional live music.
