XKBOYS

Open since 1994 — and formerly known as Le Bunker — XKBoys is one of Paris's largest and best-equipped gay cruising clubs, spread across some 380 m² in the 11th arrondissement near Belleville. There's a relaxed bar up front for a drink and a chat, while the lower levels open onto extensive, well-kept play areas — private cabins, slings and themed spaces — that have made it a fixture of the city's fetish and bear scene. With a regularly changing line-up of themed nights and a mixed, mostly thirty-and-up crowd, it's a destination address for anyone after a serious cruising night out.
