Atmosphere
Le Velvet makes guests feel very welcome, encouraging them to dance and flirt all night. French couples are particularly uninhibited, enhancing the flirtatious and festive atmosphere. Even without speaking French, communication is easy through body language.
Guests
Le Velvet attracts both young and mature guests, including some of Lyon’s most attractive couples and singles. The swingers who visit are lively, enjoy dancing on tables and bars, and are very sensual on the dance floor.
Facilities
Restaurant is open between 20:00 and 22:00 and is extremely popular, so reservations are highly recommended. The venue offers three private rooms equipped with comfortable mattresses. On the first floor, you’ll find six large open themed rooms designed for experiences such as orgy, BDSM, threesome, foursome, or “moresome.” These rooms are communal and cannot be closed off. Guests also have access to open bathing facilities, shared restrooms for both men and women, as well as an outdoor spa for relaxation. Le Velvet could improve its decor and the ambiance of its sex areas, as they are quite functional but not very decorative. More creativity in these areas would enhance the overall experience, despite the presence of BDSM equipment and glory holes.
Service
Upon arrival, a parking attendant directs you to a parking spot and shows you the entrance. Newcomers receive a tour of the club, including an introduction to its rules. Although the staff’s English is limited, they make a significant effort to ensure guests feel welcome. Condoms and lubricants are available in all private rooms, and a guard monitors the private areas to ensure all rules are followed.
X-Factor
The club is well thought out, and the staff is attentive, ensuring guests feel comfortable throughout the night. The beautiful guests at Le Velvet contribute significantly to the flirty and exciting experience.
Highlights
Sex
Guests began using the private rooms after midnight, with several participating in various activities. However, sex is only allowed in designated areas, as the disco is a “no sex” zone.
Wellness
While not a spa club, Le Velvet has a small outdoor spa that accommodates about four people. There is a communal shower area for rinsing off after activities on the first floor.
Bar
The bar offers a wide selection of spirits, wine, and champagne, though prices are on the higher side (around €10 for a standard drink). Soft drinks are included in the entrance fee and can be ordered throughout the night without additional charge. Drinks are ordered using an entrance number and paid for upon leaving the club, so no cash is needed.
Dance
The club is centered around the disco area, where most guests congregate after 23:00. The DJ played modern dance music all night, keeping everyone entertained and encouraging dancing on the dance floor and even on the bar.
