Cox, Bar and pub in the Marais, Paris
Cox is a bar and pub on Rue des Archives in the Marais, Paris 4th arrondissement, known as an LGBT place. Inside, there is a small counter with a few tables, and outside there is a terrace that fills up quickly on warm evenings.
Cox opened in 1995, making it one of the oldest LGBT bars in the Marais. Over the years it became a fixture in the neighborhood and has marked milestones such as its 20th anniversary.
Cox sits on Rue des Archives, in the Marais, the part of Paris most associated with LGBT life. The bar's red windows and slogan "Rouge Toujours" (Always Red) give it a recognizable look on the street.
Cox is easy to reach on foot from the Hôtel de Ville metro station. It opens every evening and stays open late, which makes it a good stop both for a planned night out and a spontaneous drink.
Cox changes its interior decoration every three months, so the place looks a little different with each visit. Local DJs also play every day, giving it more of a club feel than a typical pub.
