LE GAY PARIS

I'm lookg for the old Parisian exprsn Le Gay Paris. I fd worth notice that the people at TVTrop have given Gay Paree as the tle of their article on mon media trop about France.

Y, "Gay Paree" is a well-known "English" phrase, predatg by s the sexual meang of "gay.

I rather thought that "Gay Paree" njured imag of the Moul Rouge Touloe Ltrec's time, or wild surrealist parti the time of Anaïs N. It is also Paris’s most well-known gay neighborhood. The ma gay areas of the neighborhood are ncentrated along and around Rue Sate-Croix--la-Bretonnerie.

But jt bee the Marais wasn’t the place to be gay Paris, don’t mean a gay neighborhood didn’t exist. Paris first beme a gay pal the 1920s wh s first “goln age” of gay life. Its stat as a gay haven was (and is) rivaled only by Berl on the European ntent.

Many notable queer artists and wrers (such as Colette, Satie, and Gert Ste) champned the cy as a gay paradise, particularly for gay women. This first gay neighborhoods were centered on La Butte Montmartre and Pigalle.

After the war, Paris’s -vogue gay neighborhood shifted for the first time to Sat-Germa-s-Prés (on the Left Bank of the See).
