Le Diablotin

An established address

Le Diablotin has kept shop at 62 rue Lafayette, right in the center of Rouen, since May 2015. The façade doesn't try to draw attention, but the inside plays the card of light and design rather than the dark, dusty sex shop we sometimes imagine.

You'll find hundreds of items spread across several sections: sex toys for every use, lingerie, poppers, and a DVD collection that counts several thousand titles. Enough to satisfy a precise craving as well as simple curiosity.

Backroom and booths

At the back of the shop, a backroom area holds six video booths. This is one of the things that sets Le Diablotin apart from purely commercial loveshops: here, you can also enjoy things on the spot, not just buy to take home.

Access to this space, as to the shop itself, is reserved for adults, eighteen minimum, no exceptions.

Welcome and clientele

Customer reviews almost all stress the same point: the atmosphere is pleasant and the staff take the time to welcome you without judgment, whether you come alone or as a couple. The clientele is mixed, men and women, regulars as well as curious passersby.

That warm climate matters a lot in an erotic shop, where the awkwardness of taking the first step can quickly fade if the welcome is friendly.

Practical info

The shop sits on rue Lafayette, but a more discreet parking area exists on rue Lessard nearby for those who'd rather not park their car right in front of the entrance. Cash payment is accepted on site, access is however not designed for people with reduced mobility.

For residents of the right bank, the team gladly points them toward its sister shop, L'Angelus, which is geographically closer.
