Tournoi International de Paris

Since 2004, the Tournoi International de Paris promotes the practice of sports without discrimination of any kind.

The LGBT+ Sports Federation gathers nearly 50 LGBTQ+ sports associations throughout France, representing nearlt 6,000 athletes of all levels of skill. Its role is to fight against discrimination.

The event is open to everyone, gathering thousands of participants in over 30 various sports. TIP fights against all forms of discrimination, whether related to sexual orientation, gender identity, age, origins, religion, physical condition while promoting a safe sports gaming tournament for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community, so come out and support this great cause!

Afterwards, all the best gay bars around Paris will be packed with athletes and party-goers still celebrating.

Top Paris Gay Bars

  • Velvet Bar: Serves cozy-chic realness with craft cocktails and cute 20-somethings. It’s your go-to for fruity pre-games and stylish mingling—with zero attitude and max flirt.
  • Duplex: Where boho meets beau. Think candlelit cocktails, sultry side-eyes, and a whisper of scandal. Weekends bring the flirty buzz, weekdays are perfect for quiet chaos.
  • The LABO: Mixes locals and lovers in one sexy Le Marais experiment. Sip. Chat. Flirt. Repeat. The beakers are cocktails, and the only reaction is "Ooh, who's that?"
  • Cox: This is where Le Marais comes to strut. Iconic terrace? Check. Hot crowd? Always. Killer happy hour? Obviously. Come for the vibes, stay ‘til it spills into the street.
  • Bear’s Den: Delivers fur, flannel, and flirtation. Grab a strong pour, cruise the back, or just vibe with the growl crowd. Hairy, hearty, and totally unfiltered.
