Parc des Eaux-Vives

The green stretch around Parc des Eaux-Vives and neighbouring Parc La Grange, on the lake's Rive Gauche, is a long-standing summer cruising area for gay men. A beautiful public park by day, it sees discreet after-dark activity on warm evenings, mainly along the tree-lined paths near the shore. As with all outdoor spots it is strongly seasonal — be respectful of the families and joggers who fill the park, and keep any encounters low-key and away from public view.
