ParadX Cannes

If you are visiting Cannes and seeking out a place for some man to man action you will quickly find that your options may be few and far between but there is one business where your urges may just be satisfied.

Paradx can offer you a safe space to meet someone and also buy any of those special sex novelty products such as fleshlights and fetish gear that you weren’t sure you wanted to go through the airport with on your way to the French Riviera.

Businesses like Paradx are very limited in the city and this one is regarded as the most popular, well managed, clean and very gay friendly. It is also only a few blocks away from the beach and the Promenade de la Croisette yet in a discreet residential type neighborhood so no need to worry about prying, judging eyes.

Open Monday to Saturday from 2pm to 8pm and Sunday from 2pm to 7pm, inside you will find cinema halls, slings, a backroom, glory holes….need we say more? There are also special theme events such as Naked Nights so check call and ask when these might take place.

This is the time to really put your personal app of choice to work while in town, whether it is Grindr, Scruff or even Tinder and set up a time to meet at Paradx to take it from there.

And if you happen to be attending the famous Cannes Film Festival there are special opening times daily from 2pm to 11pm, it just might be your chance to run into a closeted celebrity or two.

Play safe and have fun!

Friends Nightclub Cannes

As anyone who has been to the French Riviera knows, the summer season is the busiest time of the year, and with Cannes being known worldwide as a top travel destination, a big part of that action in the city is the Friends Nightclub.

Open for a few years now, like any nightclub around the globe it has had to change with the times to keep relevant especially with the high use of personal apps these days. The difference you will find in the Cote d'Azur though is that being social is a big part of life rather than sitting at home online or passing your time on Grindr or Tinder in the hopes that someone comes along.

Being out and about is key and the Friends Nightclub is about bringing people together.

Cannes itself does not have a very large LGBT area in terms of businesses but there are plenty of members in this tight knit community and one of the places to gather from time to time is the Friends Nightclub.

In the past number of months the club has gone through some structural renovations, opening up the space to new events to bring in new people. The club is not known as a predominately gay establishment, it is gay-friendly though with a demographic of people in the average age range of 20-35 years old.

When there is a gay event going on, check Friends out, this is when the club is split up into various cruising and backroom areas, with special guest DJ drag queens thrown in the mix and during these parties expect it to be 100% gay men only.

If you are in Cannes and looking for something to do, on a gay or mixed event night be sure to visit the Friends Nightclub.


Unfortunately it looks like Friends Nightclub has closed for business.
