So where are all these sex clubs in Paris?

Les Chandelles

Les Chandelles writes on its official website that it boasts a “captivating trip to the heart of sensuality” and offers “the subtle magic of eroticism”. And it couldn't really be more central, located in the first arrondissement in the heart of the city. This is a couples only swingers club, except for Monday nights and during the afternoons.

Location: 1 Rue Thérèse, 75001 Paris

Cost: Prices go as high as €290 for a night at this club, which includes a candlelit dinner with wine.

Club Libertin 2Plus2

This club boasts online that it is the first swinger's club in Paris since 1972. It's 400 square metres of pure pleasure and offers "the five S's". In case you're wondering, that's: Sensuality, Seduction, Simplicity, Safety, and Savoir-Faire (or know-how in English, but you have to admit, it sounds better in French).  

Cost: Couples are €85 with a champagne bottle and access to a buffet

Taken Club

Location, location, location. If you’re in Paris, you can’t get a better location for a night of good old swinging than at Taken Club. It’s on the Île Saint-Louis, the island in the middle of the River Seine and just a stone’s throw from the Notre Dame Cathedral. Reviewing site “Le Petit Futé” says that it is one of the best Libertine spots of the French capital, praising its light show and “amazing” bar.

Location: 8, rue Le Regrattier, 75004

Cost: €149 including buffet

L’Overside

This place in the sixth arrondissement offers 250 square metres “dedicated to pleasure”. The English home page offers eight “cuddle areas” that organizers promise “will surprise you with a unique atmosphere to realize your sexual fantasies”. In fact, they don’t just suggest you visit… they “dare you” to try it.

Location: 92, rue du Cherche-Midi, Galerie Le Sevrien, 75006

Cost: €74 for a couple

Le Mask

This club promises everything from a feeling of being “at home” to the intimacy of its “naughty corners and playful alcoves”. It welcomes both couples and singles, and offers everything from “laughter and party spirit” to “an illicit naughty afternoon”.

Location: 18, rue Feydeau, 75002

Cost: Up to €150 for a couple in the VIP area (including champagne)

Le Fullmoon

This club, which couldn’t be more centrally located, also has one of the most informative websites. It even offers a 360 degree tour of the inside, if you enjoy that kind of thing. The site promises that the club will “satisfy even the more demanding”. This club seems to have it all too, including buffets, private rooms, and the possibility to book out the whole complex if you have the need.

Location: 13 rue d'Argenteuil, 75001

Cost: Couples for €52. Significantly more for single men.

Le Pluriel Club

Sex can be about all the senses… even the sense of hearing. And Le Pluriel knows it. In fact, the club writes that in its basement, there is a “superb bathroom and initimate corners where the light and sound levels are especially designed to accommodate your finest pleasures.” Indeed.
