Strip clubs in Paris
While Paris, the City of Light, was once a major hub for striptease and erotic shows, it's clear that this scene has been in decline — unlike in many other cities such as Amsterdam, Prague, Budapest, or Las Vegas, where it continues to thrive. Has the gentrification of the capital, or perhaps the Covid pandemic, spelled the end of the glitter and G-strings that once brought joy to bachelor parties and nights out with friends?
It would seem so, as only a few survivors remain from the golden age of striptease and lap dances. But that’s no reason to give up on the search for erotic adventure. While the art of nudity still lives on in some Parisian cabarets, the art of eroticism has found new spaces in which to flourish. Some independent erotic masseuses even offer striptease performances for parties and bachelor celebrations.

Avoid the Pigalle peep shows
Be careful — all the peep shows in Pigalle use street promoters who lure you in with promises of free erotic shows for the price of a drink. These are tourist traps that can even be dangerous. Once inside, a shady bouncer may demand you pay €70 or even €100 just for having a beer or a herbal tea.
Erotic massage and striptease
Given the disappearance of strip clubs, some erotic massage parlors now offer erotic performances as part of their massage rituals — either before or after the actual session. Far from the festive atmosphere of the clubs, these shows are a subtle nod to the art of striptease. A short, 15-minute performance, generally speaking — charming, tasteful, and this time, honest.
