About Le Trou

If your plan is to shift from daytime Lyon to something more private, Le Trou occupies a practical niche: a men‑only cruising club open from mid‑afternoon through the night on most days. Tucked at the bottom of the Croix‑Rousse slopes, the venue lays out two floors with cabins and a few screens, and advertises themed nights such as “Tous à poil” and regular Thursday events. The club is air‑conditioned, has a smoker’s area and a cloakroom service included with entry. It’s straightforward and focused on cruising rather than drinks or shows — come for the facilities and the programme rather than a long bar session.

What to expect

Expect a dedicated men‑only cruising environment across two levels: cabins, screens and circulating themed nights rather than a seated bar or nightclub programme. Visits are practical and focused — cloakroom is included in the entry fee and the venue lists a mix of afternoon‑into‑night opening times and weekend sessions.

Very nice and fun place. Decided to go on my last night in Lyon. It was naked night? I like being naked so I knew I was going to have fun. There is no liquor license, which was disappointing, but all the smokers we in a glass box (naked) threat place for them. Men were friendly, staff was great and spoke English. I recommend going for

I was there in sunny Sunday where it was full nude. I was nicely greeted at the door qnd made to feel at ease since it was my first time. The location is very central and easy to find. The place is quite distributed in different zones ((s&m, room with beds, dark room, labyrinth, movie and several private cabins) and split across 2 levels. The crowd is mainly Caucasian and I felt it gravitated more between a late 30’s onwards in terms of age but very diverse in body type. It also has a smoking room. Apprehensive at start, in the end I had great interaction with the locals and, despite the language barrier, I felt welcomed, if you get the me (LOL). A special thank you to the wonderful doorman/receptionist I will definitely go back!

One of filthiest places I have ever seen. No proper ventilation generates a sticky, heavy atmosphere in which body odors mix with poppers and the cellar’s damp. Mostly older, desperate crowd wearing all possible Village People style attires or none at all who will chase you down irrespective of your interest or lack of it. No condoms provided. Beverages limited to non-alcoholic products and water in tiny plastic bottles.

This is your place if you are a sober person. I’ve never been in any cruising place in the world where they don’t sell alcohol. Place is in good conditions.
