Sauna Les Bains

Sauna Les Bains is the oldest and largest gay sauna in Lille, a men-only bathhouse of around 1,200 square meters across four floors in the Lille-Moulins district, billing itself as the biggest all-male venue in Northern Europe. It packs in a Finnish sauna, steam room, a swimming pool and three spas, a gym, a solarium, a bar with a beer cellar and small restaurant, a smoking room and several terraces including a rooftop, alongside a full cruising side of cabins, a labyrinth and a basement darkroom, with free condoms and lube. Open seven days a week from midday and well placed for visitors from Brussels and Paris, an hour away, it draws a mixed-age crowd and is busiest on weekend evenings.
