Guide and advice to the best Strip Clubs in France.
Strip Clubs in France are divided in between two systems, the strip clubs in Paris are based on the tip system and doesn't give fixed salary or commission on champagne.

There are almost two completely different styles with strip clubs in France. Paris runs on the '
lap dance system'. Girls make all of their money on table dances or private shows, dependent on what the specific club offer, as venues do not pay commission on drinks.

Champagne System'. Clubs keep dancer numbers low and pay fixed salaries. There is a high standard to work in strip clubs in France. English is expected as a primary language in most countries worldwide, with secondary languages beneficial. However, clubs outside of Paris expect French from dancers.
Attitudes to strip clubs in France
The Crazy Horse show had the famous shoe designer, Christian Louboutin as it's artistic director. However, strip clubs are controversial. Stripping in France is not considered particularly socially acceptable. This is surprising with The Crazy Horse and Moulin Rouge being hugely popular tourist draws attracting both men and women. A prevailing attitude within the country is, there is no difference between stripping and full prostitution. Strip clubs in France are not dispersed throughout the country like in neighbouring countries such as the
UK and
Germany, but are concentrated in pockets outside of the capital. Many dancers travel in from outside France.
Prostitution is illegal in France. This only happened relatively recently in April 2016. Until this point selling sex was legal. However, profiteering, such as running a brothel or pimping was not. As a result, you will not find sex in strip clubs in France.
