Resources & Information
Centre Gai Lesbienne de Paris (Paris Gay and Lesbian Centre)
Almost exclusively volunteer-run, the centre is open Monday-Saturday, mainly in the afternoons, and Fridays are for women only, with a meet-up followed by a social outing to a restaurant/bar/play or more. Home to a number of LGBT groups, this is also a great resource centre. The centre used to be located on rue Keller, but recently moved to this new spot.

Coordination Lesbienne
This umbrella organization re-groups about twenty lesbian associations in France. These gals aren’t about finding the next wet t-shirt contest, instead delving into gender politics, as well as the political and philosophical study of lesbians.
Dyke Planet
This is the main France lesbian info site, and it’s exclusively in French. A bit tough to navigate at times, but the site is chock’a’block full of info about bars, restaurants, cafes and special events (just check out the section that says “addresses.”) Dyke Planet also sells an annual printed Dyke Guide to France (in French) that is well worth the investment. It can be ordered through their website or bought in LGBT and women’s bookstores in Paris.
Gay Paris
Website with an overview of gay and lesbian Paris. Even though it’s more directed at the boys, there’s still some valuable information for the girls here. The double bonus? The site’s available in English.
Goudou Paris
Goudou is sometimes used as a slang word equal to "dyke" in France, and this blog/website offers the latest info on a few upcoming lesbian parties. It seems like they're sticking to highlighting 3 or 4 clubs/parties, but it's nice to see the flyers for each event.
Paris Marais
English-language website offering an overview of gay Paris. While most of the site is focused on men and the Marais, it’s still a good insight to homo life in Paris, and especially of the Marais homohood. Their “lesbian guide” offers less information than you’ll find here at Girlports, with some listings out-of-date as well, so use with caution.
Paris Women’s Centre (la Maison des Femmes de Paris)
Home to a number of feminist and lesbian associations, la Maison des Femmes offers a wealth of information and resources for all women. This is also home to the Lesbian Archives.
163, rue de Charenton
Paris
