Overview: On your webmaster's trip to
Paris I made a point to visit all the different saunas I could. I
managed to see almost all of them. There were a couple I did not visit
simply because I could not find the address or because I could not find
the entrance once the address was found. The saunas in Paris are much
nicer than those in London. There were only a couple of stinkers like
Til't. The standouts in my mind are Gym Louvre [#1 for me], Sun City, Le
Riad and Univers Gym.
None of the saunas in Paris are open
24 hours. The majority open at noon and the rest at 2:00 or 3:00 pm.
None of them have rooms that can be rented exclusively like in the USA.
Everyone is given a locker and then all of the rooms are open to
everyone. Sometimes they even have a lube dispenser right in the room,
saving you from having to lug your own bottle around. I have grown to
prefer the "open room" concept since it makes the place much more cruisy
with guys constantly switching places.
This website also has more info about
the sauna scene in Paris. On the home page click on "Listings" and then
click on "Saunas." The website has an "English" button [click on the
flag].

Also Paris has dozens of "cruise bars"
with private cabins and backroom labyrinths. Too many to list here.

cannot have a full size towel until you are ready to dry off and
check out. No exceptions are made no matter how much you beg for
a full size towel upon entry.
