A neighborhood institution
IDM Sauna has held down an address in Faubourg Montmartre since 1983, making it one of the oldest gay saunas in Paris. The venue spans five air conditioned floors, for a total surface of about 950 m2, which also makes it one of the largest in the capital.
This size lets it multiply spaces without ever feeling cramped, even on the busiest nights.
Five floors to explore
In the basement, you'll find the classic trio of sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. A whole floor is dedicated to the naturist gym, equipped with weights and cardio, a space regulars often cite as one of the house's real strong points.
The other levels play the card of games and discovery: themed cabins, video zones, sling, glory holes and a mezzanine overlooking part of the venue. A bar and a smoking lounge round out the offer, with free wifi for those who want to stay connected between floors.
Crowd and access
Access is reserved for men aged 18 and up, with a local and international gay clientele. Certain weekends are dedicated to naturism, an option worth marking on the calendar for those who want to try the experience without textiles.
Entry runs around 22 to 24 euros, with a reduced rate of 16 or 18 euros for those under 35. Enough to enjoy a full evening without breaking the bank.
Opening hours
- Monday to Thursday: 12pm to 1am
- Friday to Sunday: 12pm to 2am
These generous hours let you drop by as easily in the early afternoon as in the dead of night, which explains why turnout varies so much depending on the time slot chosen.
What regulars say
Online reviews describe IDM as one of the most welcoming saunas in Paris, where the air conditioned atmosphere and the variety of facilities make all the difference. The naturist gym comes up often in comments as a rare asset for this type of venue.
The welcome is considered warm, both by Parisians passing through and by gay tourists who make IDM a classic stop on their stay in the capital.
