LOVE PLAY

A long-established loveshop

Love Play has been keeping shop in Nîmes since 2011, on the route de Montpellier. Thirteen years in business, and you can feel it in the way the place is laid out: not just a cluttered sex-shop, but a 300 m2 space organized so you can browse without feeling watched.

The place has a twin in Alès, same footprint, same spirit. The two locations work as mirror images of each other, suggesting a local chain well established in the Gard rather than a standalone shop.

What's on the shelves

Lingerie takes up a good chunk of the space, with sizes running from XS to XXXL, which isn't so common in this kind of shop. Alongside it you'll find sex toys, accessories for couples, erotic games to take home and spice up an evening, and a whole range of lubes and intimate wellness products.

The mix of lingerie, games and accessories makes it a spot designed as much for couples as for solo shoppers stocking up on essentials.

Advice taken seriously

At the Alès shop, a licensed sex therapist is available for personalized advice. That's a real plus if you have specific questions about a difficulty, an accessory to choose, or a desire you want to put into words without knowing where to start.

In Nîmes, the welcome is described as respectful and judgment-free, which matters for a first visit to a physical shop when you're not used to it.

Ordering without leaving home

Love Play also sells online, with discreet delivery anywhere in France. It becomes free from 50 euros of purchases, a threshold quickly reached if you pair a sex toy with some lube or an accessory.

Online reviews mainly praise this discretion, both at delivery and in the shop, along with the consistency of service after thirteen years in the region.
