Sun City

About this place Sun City

Sun City claims to be the biggest gay sauna in Paris by square footage — 3,000 square metres spread over three floors — and its proximity to Le Marais on the Boulevard de Sébastopol makes it the most conveniently located of the major Paris saunas for visitors staying in the Marais. The facilities are comprehensive: the full range of steam, sauna, darkroom, and relaxation areas, plus a bar. The scale creates a somewhat different atmosphere from the more intimate saunas — crowds move more freely and there is less of the neighbourhood-bar feel you get at smaller venues. On Friday and Saturday nights the place fills up significantly, particularly after the bars close at 2am. Weekend early-morning sessions are a fixture of the circuit party culture for visitors in Paris for Pride.
