A men's cruising bar in Garibaldi
Le Code is a 100% gay cruising bar, for adult men only. You'll find it at 4 rue Jean-Pierre Papon in Nice, between place Garibaldi and place du Pin. Open since 2011, it presents itself as a spot for the local gay community and visitors passing through, where anonymity is respected. From the feedback we've received, the crowd is very mixed.
Inside, you'll find a bar, lounge corners and more intimate cruising areas, all under dim lighting. The underground techno is picked by the owner. No themed parties: every opening is "no dress code".
