Le RAIDD in Paris

[Kevin Slate]

I am going to visit Paris and wanted to see if anyone has been to Le RAIDD and if they recommend it.  When is a good time to go on Thursday or Friday?  When are the shower shows?  Thanks

It’s a bar. I’d say it’s definitely busier after dinner. But really you can go any time - it’s a pleasant crowd.

IMO the shower show is over-rated. It serves as a decorative background to having a drink and talking to people. I’m not sure about times as they seem to happen in the evenings; I’ve seen them before dinner (say 6.30-7pm) and later (8-10pm).

Pleasant but peasant crowd because the connectivity between dancers and customers is basically zilch compared to, say, Montreal’s Le Village. Have bread? Want to loaf privately with a freshly bathed dude? It’s the stripper club equivalent of let them eat cake.

It is a great place to start a fun evening in Le Marais area. Interesting mix of locals & visitors! Strongly recommended!

I went in October 2019 just before covid. It was a weekday and the rotation of dancer is one every hour. I remember being bored and when the show finally started i was underwhelmed because the dancer is not attractive. The bar is also small and gets very crowded. It is nothing like Campus or Stock, where they have hot guy dancing on stage every 5 minutes or so. But it probably is different on a weekend. I didnt bother going back due to overpriced drinks.

It is very simple: gay strip clubs are not part of the EU DNA. It is indeed a small club but with an interesting crowd.
