Walk through one of the main gay meeting spots of the Marais passing a 15th century medieval church with cloister, the Musee Carnavalet, shops and galleries on your way to the most beautiful square in Europe built by Henri 4th and completed in 1612. In the center of the Square you can admire the equestrian bronze of Louis 13th, the King whose most intense emotional ties were with a series of handsome men. Louis 13th, his wife Anne, and Cardinal Richelieu all became central figures in Alexander Dumas' novel, The Three Musketeers.
As you continue, you will discover Men's gay fashion, leather boutiques and home design stores scattered between beautifully restored mansions. At the end of the stroll you will pass by clubs and bars, the Jewish Quarter, a renowned Gay book and finish up near the Pompidou Center.
You'll end the tour with a walk around the main gay meeting spots of the Marais around rue des Archives and see the popular bars, restaurants and boutiques. If open you mayt also see the only remaining 15th century medieval church and Cloister in Paris before dinner at a wonderful gay restaurant where everyone makes friends.
