Newly created, our association welcomes every one matching with the bear standard or connected to those by friendly or sentimental relationships. Besides its aim which is to ease meetings, friendship and exchanges between its members, we wich to re-enforce now-days stream agaisnt exclusion towards people who are not matching gay-trendy criteria.

Convinced that every one is up to experience a full-filled life of social and cultural exchanges, we are here to pursue the fight of some early pionners against this discrimination.

Therfore, our aims will be :

. to ease exchanges,
. to create nightlife, cultural and political events,
. to reveal a "places & events" network that really allows our way-of-life to exist,
. to meet each-other weekly and therefore create a group of friends,
. to generate cross-help relations front of one's life difficulties (informations, people connections, skill exchanges, etc.)

It appeared important to us to ask our friends of the "bears'den", creators of the first "bear" place in Paris, to help us launching our activities. They kindly welcome us every wenesday during the "happy hour". So we're up to meet you in this well-known place next wenesday for an "apéritif" drink.

bears regards,

Alain Casanova
Chairman.
