But why hasn't anyone refered to it as the City of Sex? It's a bit surprising when you know about all the old 19th century brothels, the modern and chic swinger clubs, the former prostitution areas now turned into touristic and shopping highlights.
And let's not forget Pigalle, the red light district turned hipster territory. Enough talk and let's get down to brass tacks! Welcome to sexy Paris! Where are all the Paris brothels you ask? Would you be surprised to know that Paris' red light district has now become Paris' trendiest neighborhood?
But some sex-shops, including the huge Sexodrome, and erotic cinemas are still here for those looking for insperation or wild and wacky fun. The Erotic Museum pays homage to the provocative past and present of the neighborhood. A lucrative business, or so it seems! The other red light disctrict of Paris is on Rue Saint Denis.
Poor Saint Denis, he must surely be losing his head! The street became the first paved road in Paris, and soon filled up with horse carts travellers in the 19th century. The carts have disappeared of course, but the mistresses are still there although the "local" is now more asian and african than caucasian.
Paris might be the capital of love, but it is also the capital of naughty love making. Where, you ask? Per definition, the latter is a place where willing people over 18 can meet and enjoy the pleasures of group sex. And THAT is legal. The most exclusive : Les Chandelles. The most exposed : The WE. If sharing is not your thing, but you still want to spend a night of carnal lust with your partner, we have just the thing: the intimacy of a comfortable and welcoming hotel. It's located in the Latin Quarter.
