More about La Dimanche
About La Dimanche
Sunday evenings at Café A, for the past ten years
La Dimanche is the party that rounds off the weekend. It describes itself as follows: ‘For the past 10 years, La Dimanche has been based at Café A, where its residency has become an unmissable fixture on the Parisian LGBTQIA+ scene. ” Join us on Sundays from 6 pm, with a happy hour from 6 pm to 9 pm, pop DJ sets, and the party going on until 2 am. From what we’ve seen on our visits, the crowd is mainly in their thirties and predominantly gay, with a 100 per cent laid-back atmosphere and no dress code.
Café A, and sometimes the Seine
Café A is housed in the Maison de l’Architecture, the former Récollets convent, between Gare de l’Est and the Canal Saint-Martin. On some occasions, the chapel is also opened, such as at the opening on 20 September 2026. From what we’ve seen, it’s here, in its birthplace, that La Dimanche feels most at home. It does occasionally venture out: in September 2026, ‘La Dimanche sur Seine’ took place at the Mazette, a guinguette at the Port de la Rapée, and that was brilliant too.
The 2026 events
The programme included a Garden Party in June, a daytime Pride event on the Sunday of the Pride March, from 12 noon to 5 pm, a free ‘Homecoming’ event in early September, followed by the opening on 20 September and ‘La Dimanche sur Seine’. All upcoming dates are on this page and in Gay, lesbian and queer nights, clubs and venues in Paris.
Good to know
Based on our visits: arrive early, as there’s often a queue to get into Café A. Start by having a chat on the terrace before heading in to dance. You can grab a bite to eat there without leaving the party.
Our team's take
During our visits, we enjoyed a completely laid-back atmosphere, with no dress code, and a clientele in their thirties, mostly gay. You can really feel the difference between the two venues: Le Mazette is still very good, but Café A – which is, in a way, its birthplace – suits it better. At Café A, we’d advise you to arrive early as there’s often a queue to get in. People come early to wind down, have a chat on the outdoor terraces before hitting the dance floor, and you can easily grab a bite to eat there without leaving the party.
