New Millenium

A sex shop that thinks it's a gallery

New Millenium doesn't look like any other shop of its kind in Paris. Here, sex toys sit alongside photographs, paintings, drawings and tapestries, in a showroom designed as much as an art space as a pleasure space. The concept store bills itself as an LGBTQIA+ address, open to all genders and all sexualities, in the lively Oberkampf neighborhood.

The shop is located at 37 rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, in the 11th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Parmentier metro stop. Access is reserved for adults, 18 and over.

The Hankey's Toys reference

New Millenium has built its reputation on its selection of Hankey's Toys sex toys, known for their realistic and finely crafted pieces. The shop offers the widest collection in Europe, which draws a clientele that sometimes travels from far away specifically for this.

Beyond this specialty, the brand also runs as an e-shop and has a mobile app, handy for those who prefer to order ahead before stopping by the shop or who can't make it to Paris.

Atmosphere and welcome

On site reviews describe a high end place, where the buying experience aims to be refined rather than rushed. The staff are described as knowledgeable and attentive, able to advise without judgment or awkwardness.

The atmosphere is praised for its inclusivity: customers come to find a welcoming space, far from impersonal sex shops. New Millenium is now recognized as a landmark of the Parisian LGBTQIA+ scene, both for its products and for its artistic stance.

Hours and practical info

The shop opens Monday through Saturday, from 2 pm to 9 pm. It's closed on Sunday.
