The romantic and charming city of Paris celebrates Gay Pride, called the Marche des Fiertes LGBT , at the end of June with a massive parade that draws more than 700,000 spectators and participants, as well as a series of lively parties, dances and other events. Pride-related activities include parties at a variety of clubs throughout the city. This year's date for the Paris Gay Pride March is July 2, 2016.
Note that Paris has been chosen to host Gay Games 10 in 2018 – it wouldn't hurt to mark your calendars now.
