Le 6

Nice, French Riviera –

Although a Club Privé sign hangs on the door of this gay-friendly club, patrons need not be shy about ringing the doorbell at Le 6 – within seconds a friendly bouncer will gladly usher visitors inside. Small and crowded, the club nonetheless provides a fantastic, fun-loving vibe for a night of dancing amid a fashionable and outgoing clientele.

Chandeliers and pastel floral designs contrast with the venue’s tall metal booths, each numbered and featuring a telephone so that flirty patrons can get to know that cute someone across the crowded room without having to leave their own booth. Of course, the music is so loud it’s impossible to hear the ringing, but hopeful revelers need only watch for the blinking red lights that indicate an incoming call.

Those who don’t feel like chatting around the tiny tables or breaking it down on the dance floor can climb up the metal staircase to the balcony for a bird’s-eye view of the action below.

Featuring go-go dancers and a vibrant clientele, Le 6 gets busy around midnight when the electronic music inspires men in tight t-shirts and fashionistas in mini-dresses to let loose on the dance floor.
