La Poudrière is a queer and LGBTI association in Le Havre, founded in 2018. It describes its purpose as listening, looking after people, celebrating and campaigning. It has no bar or premises of its own, and its regular gatherings take place at the Pôle Simone Veil on Rue Michelet, a step-free building.
The programme repeats through the year. There is a queer craft club, where materials are provided and you can also bring whatever you are working on, a queer culture club, and a drop-in session for trans people. The association also puts on parties and joins local marches, and everyone who helps organise its events signs a charter on respect and safety.
For a visitor this is a way into the local queer community rather than a night out.
