In an atmosphere that is festive, militant and inclusive all at once, the LGBTQIA+ Pride Parade, or Paris Pride, brings together thousands of people every year to defend equal rights, celebrate identities and demand visibility for LGBTQIA+ communities
On Saturday 28 June 2025, Paris will host a new edition of the Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Intersex, Asexual and Queer Pride Parade - also known as Paris Pride or French Pride - organised by Inter-LGBT, which this year celebrates 25 years of commitment. More than a parade, it is a strong political act, a moment of gathering to demand equal rights, fight against discrimination and give a voice to gender and sexual minorities. The colourful procession will bring together associations, unions, collectives and citizens in solidarity in a festive atmosphere punctuated by floats, committed slogans, music and performances. This march is part of a militant tradition, in the tradition of the Stonewall riots (1969), and punctuates a Pride Week full of events throughout the capital. It also echoes the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia on 17 May, reaffirming the urgency of defending fundamental rights. Departure is scheduled from the ‘Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre’ metro station at 1.30pm. The finish line is at Place de la Nation, where the Grand Podium will be set up for six hours of live music from 5pm to 11pm, in front of 50,000 spectators! The route follows Rue de Rivoli, Rue Saint-Antoine, Place de la Bastille, Rue de Lyon, Avenue Daumesnil and finally Avenue Diderot.
