A legendary Paris LGBTQ+ dance club in Le Marais, Tango offers retro ballroom, disco hits, and a friendly, inclusive queer atmosphere.
Step into a piece of living history at Tango, one of the most beloved and enduring fixtures on the Paris gay map. Tucked away in the historic Le Marais district at 11 Rue au Maire, this legendary LGBTQ+ dance club—famously known as 'La Boîte à Frissons' (The Thrill Box)—offers a nightlife experience unlike any other in the city. What makes Tango truly special is its commitment to a welcoming, non-pretentious atmosphere that transcends generations. Each Friday and Saturday night begins with a touch of old-world charm, as the wooden dance floor fills with couples practicing the waltz, paso doble, and of course, the tango. Around midnight, the vibe shifts seamlessly into a high-energy queer disco, playing everything from 80s pop and French variety to timeless disco classics—notably avoiding the pounding techno found elsewhere for a more melodic, retro feel. Whether you are among the local gay men who have frequented this spot for decades or a traveler looking for an authentic slice of Parisian life, Tango invites everyone to the floor. From its iconic Madison line dance to its lively Sunday tea dances, it remains a vibrant sanctuary of joy and inclusivity in the heart of Paris.
