Gay culture. Paris Circuit Party takes the party throughout
the city for the LGBT march in Paris on 30 June. Which

Sixty dancers will be strutting their stuff and musicians will
have you dancing for hours, in seven amazing venues. From
midnight to dawn on 28 June, the Hunkut party from Brussels
will take to the Bastille stage. On 29 June, a huge club event
will be taking place at the Red Light, and on 30 June, at the
end of the Pride March, the Grande Arche at La Défense will
be the venue for the party and the after-party, on 1 July from
6 am to noon. Then head for a Tea Dance on 1 July on the
banks of the Seine, followed by the Closing Party at the 1515,
and a Closing After Party at the Crystal Lounge.
