Paris 2018 and Paris Gay Village join forces to help you discover « Gay Paris » through the history of its neighborhoods, its streets, and its legendary figures.

Guided walking tours for about twenty people will be offered in French, English and Spanish.

The tours will take place from August 5th to 11th and will cover:

  • the evolution of the gay area of Paris from the Tuileries to the Marais,

Why homosexuals who wandered in the eighteenth century had to remain wary? What role did the French Revolution play in the decriminalization of homosexuality? Where did Marguerite Yourcenar and her companion Grace Frick meet? Who was then the brother of Louis XIV? … While walking the garden of Tuileries at Les Halles, this visit will bring you answers and will evoke still other destinies or homosexual uses of the last three centuries.

  • Una visita arco iris : 300 años de historia homosexual en París

    ¿Por qué tenían que andar con cuidado los homosexuales que ligaban en el siglo XVIII ? ¿Qué papel desempeñó la revolución francesa en la despenalización de la homosexualidad ? ¿Dónde se encontraron Marguerite Yourcenar y su amante Grace Frick ? ¿Quién era el hermano de Luis XIV ? En esta visita, al caminar del jardín « des Tuileries » hasta el barrio « Les Halles », tendremos las respuestas y evocaremos algunos destinos y algunas costumbres homosexuales de los tres últimos siglos.

  • a tour focused solely on the mythical Marais,

By joining us for an hour, discover how Le Marais became the Parisian gay area of today but also unexpected gay stories which took place in this historical neighborhood in the previous centuries.

  • a tour about important LGBTIQ people buried in the famous Père Lachaise cemetery,

Discover with us several tombs of homosexuals and famous lesbians (Rosa happiness, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Marcel Proust …) but also some unmissable or unusual monuments …

  • a tour about lesbians of the left bank,

The Left Bank has hosted many lesbians, artists and women of letters, especially between 1900 and 1940. These French women and men have had a significant influence on the intellectual life as the emancipation of women and lesbian visibility. The walk follows in the footsteps of Adrienne Monnier and Sylvia Beach, Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas, Djuna Barnes and Janet Flanner, Natalie Barney and Romaine Brooks …

  • Las lesbianas del barrio latino

    Entre 1900 y 1940 el barrio latino de París acogió a numerosas lesbianas. Intelectuales, escritoras y artistas, estas francesas y extranjeras (mayoritariamente norteamericanas) tuvieron una gran influencia sobre la vida intelectual y la emancipación de las mujeres así como sobre la visibilidad lésbica. Seguiremos los pasos de Adrienne Monnier y Sylvia Beach, Gertrude Stein y Alice Toklas, Djuna Barnes y Janet Flanner, Natalie Barney y Romaine Brooks…
