Le Cléo

By the lake

Le Cléo has settled on the shores of Lac d'Aiguebelette, in Savoie, a setting that's a nice change from the industrial zones where swinger clubs often end up. The outdoor terrace makes the most of this rather rare environment for this kind of venue. The parking is private, which matters when you arrive late at night in an area you don't necessarily know.

Two floors to explore

The venue spans 600 m² over two levels. You'll find a bar, a nightclub style dance floor, a restaurant serving well crafted cuisine, and about ten intimate lounges for those who want some privacy. Two water areas with spa and jacuzzi round out the picture, quite an asset in this type of venue where the spa often stays minimal. The club is non smoking, with a dedicated area for smokers.

Who comes to Le Cléo

Alex and Audrey, the owners, aim for a balanced crowd: swinger couples, single women and single men are all welcome, with a clear intention not to let solo male guests dominate the clientele. Some regulars still wish there were more couples compared to single men on certain nights, a point worth keeping in mind if that's your main criteria.

Dress code and entry

Access is restricted to adults. The required dress code is sexy or glamorous libertine style, no tracksuits, ripped jeans or sandals. In other words, you won't be showing up straight from the office or a hiking trip.

Hours and atmosphere

Le Cléo is open Friday and Saturday from 9pm to 5:30am, and Sunday from 8pm to midnight. Closed Monday through Thursday. Management regularly organizes themed nights, an event followed by regulars who come back for the ever changing lineup.

What regulars say

Feedback mentions a warm atmosphere and thoughtful decor, far from the austere feel of some clubs. Staff are described as welcoming, the restaurant's food holds up well according to several visitors, and the spa with jacuzzi keeps coming up as a real plus. Themed nights and the festive atmosphere are also mentioned among the reasons guests keep coming back.
