France legalized same-sex marriage in 2013, and since then LGBTQ rights and overall recognition have continued to prosper. The country’s genuflection to the community is best reflected in the series of prides which transpire across France each year. While Paris Pride is understandably the largest pride to take place in France, attracting roughly 700,000 participants and spectators every June, the likes of Lyon Pride, Toulouse Pride, and Bordeaux Pride also give locals here the chance to experience their pride in a lively celebration. So what are you waiting for? Openly experience your pride in France, and pencil in these gay prides for the year.
