GAY BAR
QUETZAL
This perennial favourite gay bar is opposite rue des Mauvais Garçons (Bad Boys' Street), a
road named after the brigands who congregated here in 1540. It's always busy, with house
and dance music playing at night, and cruisy at all hours; plate-glass windows allow you to
check out the talent before it arrives.

The name of this flagship cocktail bar-pub on a street with several lesbian bars means 'wo-
men with women'. It's relaxed and there's no ban on men (they must be accompanied by a
woman). On weekends there's dancing downstairs with a DJ and themed evenings take
place regularly. Check its Facebook page for events.
BAR, GAY
LES JACASSES
Girls will love this sister bar to
3W
- it looks like it's been transplanted directly from Nor-
mandy. It has softer music, hard-core evenings and a happy 'hour' that happily lasts for four
(from 5pm).

Billing itself as a
boîte à frissons
(club of thrills), Le Tango hosts a mixed and cosmopolit-
an, gay and lesbian crowd in a historic 1930s dancehall. Its atmosphere and style is retro and
festive, with waltzing, salsa and tango getting going from the moment it opens. From about
