Le Pourquoi pas

Le Pourquoi Pas is a relaxed libertine sauna in Calais, just minutes from the Channel Tunnel, that has carved out a distinctive spot in the region's mixed and gay scene. Kept deliberately simple, with a sauna, sling, bars and showers, it trades on an easygoing, no-drama atmosphere and a warm welcome, with corporal hygiene a firm house rule. Its schedule is the thing to know: Tuesdays are strictly men-only for gay and bi guys, while the rest of the week runs mixed for couples and singles, and Sundays open up to all orientations. Friendly and unpretentious, it's a handy stop for cross-Channel visitors.
