Shops in Paris
Most of the shops in the Marais district are at least gay-friendly. Especially on Rue Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie and its side streets you'll find several shops for underwear, clubwear and streetwear.
Important note: Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, many places are closed or opening hours may have changed. Please check the websites and Facebook pages of the respective venues for the latest information.
