Facilities & Atmosphere
The venue positions itself as an adults-only sauna club and lists on its own website a sauna area, hammam, jacuzzi, showers, and a bar. Towels and pareos are provided at the cloakroom. The design is described as „chic et tendance“, and the club explicitly prioritizes hygiene and safety.
The weekly schedule is the defining feature. Monday runs as an LGBTQIA+ evening, Wednesday as a Gay Mousse Party, Tuesday and Friday are listed as mixed evenings („Mixte“), Thursday and Saturday as open to all. Sundays feature two parallel ambiances. Special events also include Bear, Blackout, or Swingers evenings, which are published in the website’s event calendar with date and time. If you’re coming for a specific audience, it’s best to check the calendar in advance – the program changes daily.
The club offers a separate daytime service between noon and 2 p.m. There’s also a loyalty card with benefits. The venue reserves the right to refuse entry for inappropriate behavior or overcrowding; mutual understanding and respect are expected, monitored by cameras, staff, and alarm buttons.
