Food, fashion, wine, art, culture, architecture... and now gay saunas! What don't the French do right?
In this video I break down my experience at SunCity gay sauna in Paris. I'll rate the Staff, Facilities, Men and give some Pros & Cons with a final rating out of 5 eggplants!
Will SunCity Paris be a triumph or just a sloppy mess?

Another fun and informative video Patrick. You’d make a perfect tour guide in any one of these cities.😁

[@japaris75]

My favorite sauna in Paris would be IDM because it is more inclusive. All body types are welcome. It is more body positive. French-American, here, living in Paris for 11 years

[@PatrickMarano]

Thx for the tip

[@paulfoley3222]

I really appreciate that - I love having naughty time with the boys, but I don't want to feel like a wallflower cause too many hot bods, not enough regular guys

[@mikefilimon1584]

Thanks for the tip!

[@lucaspichon3167]

Im ftm so thank you !!

[@IUmusicBoi]

Encore une fois, une autre vidéo formidable et de superbes descriptions. Merci!

[@PatrickMarano]

De rien! Merci pour être la mon ami! xo

[@dramonmaster222]

Happy Sunday Patrick! Glad to know you had fun in Europe.

[@PatrickMarano]

I did!

[@fresatx]

I 💖💖💖 your GD Enthusiasm!! Attitude is everything! You bring me to places that are fascinating but that I will never get to see, THANK YOU!

[@PatrickMarano]

Wow, thank you!

[@theukulelee]

Just booked my trip to Paris in April! Thanks for the reviews.

[@PatrickMarano]

Enjoy!

[@jimsmith1549]

Your voice is very descriptive and can really transport the interested viewer to where you are "inside your head"! You have a way of speaking where the pitch, the volume, the tone truly match what you're talking about with how you feel about it. Have you been an actor? You're a natural.

[@PatrickMarano]

Thank you! 😃 I did some acting back in the day, both on camera and on the stage

[@danielimpastato3466]

Haven't seen you in awhile so this was nice 👍I am glad you had a good time and btw you are sorta glowing and looking well....rested❣😉

[@PatrickMarano]

Thank you!! 😊

[@jshonert]

❤❤❤ I have missed you! Love this video - - “sometimes you come three times and need to take a break! “

[@barrierealestatevid]

OMG... just stumbled on your channel. I so love it, and you are so very honest about your stay there. Keep up the good work! I am from Ontario Canada.

[@PatrickMarano]

Thank you so much!! btw I live in Toronto

[@rakim3447]

Nice review. I enjoyed your description. I hope I visit Paris soon.

[@PatrickMarano]

Please do!

[@ziggykittykat5873]

VERY valuable information! Thank you!!

[@wernerbergh2593]

Wow !!! I think so far this must be the best Sauna I have ever seen just because of the décor and the theme almost like going to the buddha bar but for gays only . Paris is an amazing city and you can expect a lot there so yes this one defiantly must be a good one because after all the saunas you have reviewed every one has some cons but at least this one and the one in Amsterdam sounds like my two favorite one to say the least .Thank you for this video keep it coming 😁❤

[@georgerivera8834]

I've been to many of these places all over The US and International Thanks for the memories I was a former flight attendant And that's how I got around Lol I have to sample all the cultures Men

[@GarryD]

5:11 "Sometimes you just came 3 times and you wanna take a break!" I love this guy. LOL

[@bhamboy05]

Sun City - Been there several times. Nicest sauna I've been to, so much attention to deal. Sunday afternoons / evenings and that steam room is wild! Good variety of men ages and races.

[@PatrickMarano]

Agreed... lots of variety

[@stephenstephen1505]

Useful guide- thanks. Useful to know the age range and type of guys there

[@PatrickMarano]

Yup, good idea

[@davidridgway4705]

When I lived and worked in Paris, I always enjoyed the baths there.

[@darrins2030]

Hi Patrick, love your vids. One thing you do not mention in your reviews is the hours of operation. The reason why I mention this is that the location might be great but if it is closed after coming out of a club or bar or if you arena morning person and want to attend before work, then isn't that a negative.

[@PatrickMarano]

Good point!

[@Jusell]

Thanks for sharing 💐

[@matsudaseiko]

we three usually go straight to those all you can eat sex club like L'Impact (aka the Théo & Hugo fame) and grab some lads back to hotel for some follow up, but those french lads at sun city are simply c'est magnifique ! ^0^

[@PatrickMarano]

Agreed!

[@JordanjamesX]

I think that's my next goal visiting a bathhouse in a different country especially in Europe. I have visited bathhouses in Toronto, London Ontario, and Montreal Quebec. But I really want to see what bathhouses in Europe especially the UK.

[@PatrickMarano]

Did you see my reivew of Sweatbox in London?

[@KyrilPG]

I worked there, at the bar, a looomg time ago ! Worked hard, played harder 😛😜😘 When clicking on the video, I was pretty sure you'd have tried the Sun City. Back then it was even bigger, almost twice. They closed a large section of the premises to transfer it to the adjacent Moon City, a straight sauna / sex club. I don't know if the Moon still exists nowadays. It's the same owner that of Le Dépot (gay night & sex club) on the same block but in the perpendicular street (South side of the block). Working there was fun, varied and overall a good experience with really funky anecdotes and memories but some Sunday shifts were a nightmare as the sauna did "after's after-parties" from like noon to 2 AM (yup, 14h), super crowded, with all the guys high as kites after partying for 12 hours or more since the night before and I regularly had to run from the bar to the pool to fish a dude experiencing a G-hole in the water... The half-naked barman / makeshift lifeguard & pretend EMT that I was, wasn't amused... Especially after fishing 10 G-holed bodybuilding goliaths from the pool in under an hour. But some found very pleasurable ways to make amends. 😜 Good to know you had a good time! In Paris it can be a hit or miss but the Sun City usually makes do even if it's an overall miss day in Paris' other saunas and clubs. Fun facts: all the sculpted woodwork, like locker doors, cabin doors, wall panels etc are real wood sculpted in India then imported. That's why no 2 are exactly the same. It might look a bit fake / Disneylandesque in pictures but it's much more authentic in reality. I would have loved to entertain you there, the "Paris Visite" hop on, hop off ride with a baguette way... 🤣 Anyway, great review!

[@PatrickMarano]

thanks for sharing that! Disneylandesque is a good way to say it, but I appreciate the attention to detail. Almost every sauna I've been too has moments like the after after party and tons of drugs.... it happens. Sounds like they were lucky to have you. Next time you can give me a guided tour ;)

[@minarminar663]

What's a "G Hole"?

[@KyrilPG]

@@minarminar663 That's the common term for a GHB/GBL overdose, it's quite common due to GHB & GBL having a particularly unforgiving effect's curve. The "optimal" dose is close to the "way too much" dose so guys in parties often misdose and end up being rescued and put in lateral safety position until they wake back up. That was my occupation for at least half of my shift when I worked the bar on Sunday "after-after-parties", instead of serving drinks, quite annoying... There's also the "K hole", which is the somewhat equivalent for ketamine. It's called a "hole" because it's essentially a coma that can be quite impressive to other people around.

[@lucaspichon3167]

Do you know if they accept trans men without penis ? Or maybe if i keep the towel on me ?

[@joegugs]

Perfect timing heading to paris in a month

[@PatrickMarano]

haha awesome

[@louispt6276]

Very interesting. I'm living in Paris but never been to any sauna here. Just too shy to go there alone. But thanks for a very informative video. 👍

[@PatrickMarano]

You can bring a friend lol

[@johnwayne8475]

But if you had a friend who you are comfortable taking to the sauna then you probably wouldn't need to go there in the first place, just root your friend

[@JJ-in3bc]

Those are 100% normal feelings. You just have to mentally prepare yourself, get excited, but without pressuring yourself, set an exact time, and boldly blast in and do it. Then you'll realize, it no big deal & can't wait to go back. You will feel empowered! 🙂

[@louisdewit4429]

GO ! No one will attack you. It’s all relaxed and straight forward. You’ll be ok after 15 minutes. If you don’t go you’ll regret it later when it’s too late. Other gays are no different from you. Have fun.

[@ovh992]

Did you do Le Depot in Paris ? I had so much fun there! They have private rooms but one wall is all glass and people can stand there and watch.

[@PatrickMarano]

I didn't... sounds amazing!

[@huselman]

couldn't find any info about it

[@ovh992]

I misspelled it. It is "Le Depot". Jean Paul Gaultier had a fashion party there once. Violet Chachke got thrown out of there once because she was wearing makeup and didn't fit the mood of the place.

[@mikefilimon1584]

Wow! Favorite Sauna? Well, I’ve only been to ones (in Europe) in Budapest. Magnum is awesome! Hot Eastern European men, similar deals as you mentioned here and the shear exoticism of it all. Not around any more but I got to experience a communist era sauna called Kiraly which part was built during the Turkish Empire had a very masculine aire to it.

[@PatrickMarano]

Wow!

[@edwardpoutier524]

The Boiler Room in Berlin is awesome!

[@PatrickMarano]

Thx for the tip!

[@kimmiggles9851]

loves it so much 💖💗❤

[@arturocastelar3803]

I was there several year ago. It was very nice, full of amazing guys. I m looking forward to come back again. The pool is really amazing, except, u dont say, it s forbidden have sex in there. When I was there, the staff was rude. Probably it was because i dont speak french fluently.

[@PatrickMarano]

Good point, thanks for bringing the pool thing up

[@user-ol3cv5yp3g]

Patrick loved your video, thanks for your information on Sun City looks amazing, I wish london had somewhere like S C, next time in Paris I will definitely check it out,❤

[@PatrickMarano]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SM-tx1gg]

And the locker system is a nightmare headache no one can figure out

[@PatrickMarano]

haha so true

[@RS-hf6rn]

Sounds like a fun place.

[@lemapp]

Watergarden, Atlas Street, San Jose, CA (closed). -- I usually went weekdays during the day. I'm basically a nudist and like being able to sun in the nude. I knew that 'action' was going on, but I was outside in the sun.

[@KA-su9ww]

Club Lauderdale FL one nicest one I have been to when I lived there out door pool neat and clean.Now I go to he Tampa bathhouse looks small from out but but a lot bigger inside newer.Rainbow bathhouse was a dump it was down the street from the other one to me it just looked like a fire hazed it has gone out a business.

[@heartfeltteaching]

So basically an Orientalist-decor slagfest where the floors are permanently on Cipro 😆

[@rafisalfonsonin4908]

How so? Beginner here

[@lordgaynondorf2148]

Sun City quality level has dropped significantly in the last decade. You should try IDM sauna next time if you can. There is no strong theme but it's better in terms of men and activities, cleaner also. Idk why guys would recomend Sun city to you on Grindr since it's known to have losts its way but anyways I'm glad you had a great time ! Also the second jacuzzi was actually open ? This should be a national day, this shit has been on repair for years ...

[@PatrickMarano]

haha, thank you for the tips!

[@imhoned4532]

Ugh there’s nothing like european bathhouses lol sooooo many hot men 🥵 Sun City was among my first bathhouses. Club Houston was my first bathhouse when I was 18 years old over a decade ago. Gym Louvre (in Paris) was my second one when I was 20/21. Sun City was my third also at 21. Good times... I remember being soooo nervous yet fascinated by the decor and theme. I loved getting lost in the long steam room that seemed maze like. Good memories.

[@imhoned4532]

Over a decade later and I’ve become a bathhouse and cruising pro lol 😆 I recommend gym Louvre next time. It has a gym 💪 and the dungeon/ basement is a bathhouse.

[@PatrickMarano]

Thanks for the tip!

[@simmerway]

I was here on the 17th!! I had the best time, it was warm, the pool was so pleasant and had a good time with the guys. (Plus they gave me the under 26 discount even though I’m 3 months too old 😂). I will say suicide squad on the TV was odd. Way better than IDM

[@PatrickMarano]

I'm glad you had a good time!

[@divakingsley9020]

Hi Patrick. When I used to go to the bathhouses the things that I looked for were: 1. Friendly staff 2. Condoms and Lube dispensers anywhere throughout the facility. Here in south Florida we don’t have the “bars” in our bathhouses, so that’s an extra bonus to the ones you’ve been to. THANKS for posting. Hopefully you can do some kind of review with a 🍑 being the score. Lol

[@giglambert8787]

hey how is the Parisian attitude in the bath house with foreigners who don’t speak French? is the dark room the best place for hooking up?

[@PatrickMarano]

U don’t really need to speak at the sauna. Ur body can do all the work. Plus there were lots of tourists too

[@Delaquintiny]

I’m French

[@user-bg1fu5gz9s]

Do you think that Sun City is better than Sweatbox in London ?

[@PatrickMarano]

Oh yes 100%

[@user-bg1fu5gz9s]

@@PatrickMarano thanks! Maybe Sun City is the best one in the world ?

[@albertho9697]

Age-ist? I'm an older gay man and would want to feel welcome if I went there.

As also an older gay man, I would recommend Spa Excess in Toronto (NOT SteamWorks) or, in Vancouver, SteamWorks ( what a difference!).
