France is fairly liberal toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered travelers, and there are prominent gay and lesbian communities in Paris, Marseille, and other southern towns. In most larger cities, GLBT travelers are welcome and in good company. However, overt displays of sexual identity can evoke an unfriendly response in more remote regions of the country. To avoid hassles at airports and border crossings, transgendered travelers should make sure that all of their travel documents consistently report the same gender. Listed below are contact organizations, mail-order catalogs, and publishers that offer materials addressing some specific concerns. Out and About (www.planetout.com) offers a comprehensive website and a weekly newsletter addressing gay travel concerns. The online newspaper 365gay.com also has a travel section (www.365gay.com/travel/travelchannel.htm).
