Le Trou, nestled in Lyon's vibrant Croix-Rousse slopes, is a premier gay cruising club exclusively for men. Spanning two floors, it features private cabins, a video labyrinth, dark rooms, and a popular sling in the dungeon, creating an immersive space for erotic encounters. The ambiance is dark, charged with anticipation, enhanced by air conditioning and a dedicated smoking area.
The club hosts themed nights such as Naked Sundays and Tuesdays, Underwear Thursdays, and Jockstrap events, encouraging playful dress codes and heightened excitement. No alcohol is served, but an on-site sex shop stocks toys, fetish gear, lube, and condoms, with online shopping available. Ideal for late-night cruising, it's busiest on weekends, offering affordable entry for spontaneous fun in one of France's top gay scenes.
