Gay Guide to Nancy
France decriminalized same-sex relations in 1791 and legalized marriage equality in 2013. Nancy, an elegant city in Lorraine known for its Art Nouveau heritage and the golden gates of Place Stanislas, has a small but lively LGBTQ+ community.
The scene gathers near Place de la Carrière in the historic center, where a cluster of gay and gay-friendly bars sit within easy walking distance.
A long-running men's sauna and regular bar nights round out a compact but welcoming set of venues.
Nancy holds an annual Pride parade that draws a couple of thousand marchers through the centre.
