Paris has always sold itself as the city of love. But whose love stories actually get remembered? On this queer walking tour through the Marais, we’ll uncover the hidden — and not-so-hidden — LGBTQ+ history of Paris: from aristocratic gossip and coded desire to drag culture, activism and modern queer life.
We’ll stroll through one of Paris’ most beautiful neighbourhoods while discussing: -> queer life from the monarchy to today -> the evolution of LGBTQ+ rights in France -> hidden cruising spots and coded queer spaces -> AIDS activism and community organising -> the differences between French, American and British queer cultures -> why Paris can feel both liberating… and complicated
Along the way we’ll stop at iconic places including: -> Place des Vosges -> Place des des Combattantes-et-Combattants-du-Sida -> Rue du Plâtre -> Centre LGBT Paris-Île-de-France
