HOT and FUN!
IDM is a very fun place. There are neither many Tarzans nor Janes in this jungle, but it's home to hot guys mostly between 30 and 60. IDM is the home of the trim and trimmed--not many (but a few) bears. The 'promenade' deck is very entertaining and busy...something for almost everyone. Lots of cabins...and many with a view of hot guys. The decks above are also very interesting and active; although some areas are very dark and treacherous. Some areas are architecturally stunning, while there were a few electric nightmares. The dry and steam saunas are great, as is the HUGE hot tub. My only complaint was luke-warm showers that went cooler and cooler.
Don't bother...
An altogether disappointing experience. The front desk clerk was bitchy and inhospitable. The facility itself is as old and tired as were most of the clientele. And the price was more expensive than the larger, better situated and more modern saunas of Paris. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.
Am I too old?
Went there several years ago. They looked at my gray hair and said that I would need a doctor's report on my health. I got the hint that they did not want anyone as old as I. Oh well, there is always Euro Men's Club where I have had a great time several times.
Great bath house
This is one of my favourite bath houses in Paris. It is big, mostly full, there are great saunas and steam rooms (hammams). The crew is very nice and there are always good looking, interesting guys. The crowd is mixed: all ages and types. They even have a smoking area which is a dream for Parisians and others.
