La Belleviloise

La Bellevilloise is a sprawling independent cultural venue in Ménilmontant, born in 1877 as France's first workers' cooperative and reborn since 2005 as one of Paris's most characterful spaces for concerts, clubbing, and its famous weekend jazz brunch. For the LGBTQ+ crowd, it's best known as the home of VendrediXXL, one of the city's biggest monthly gay parties, taking over multiple floors with electro, pop, and cabaret rooms, a rooftop, and a garden. It's also where misterb&b celebrated its 10th anniversary, hosted by Drag Race France's Nicky Doll. Eclectic and inclusive, it's a key fixture of Paris queer nightlife.
