It's Charlie David's first stop as the new male host of Bump! as he visits gay Paris! To get his bearings, he takes a walking tour of the gayest of gay Paris, the Le Marais district, and visits Absolu Living to book the best gay accommodation that Paris has to offer. Raring to go, Charlie hits-up the annual Rainbow Attitude Expo - a visual feast for the eyes - with everything gay anyone would want under one pink roof. Then it's off to visit some fine art at The Orsay, the world's first and only museum dedicated exclusively to gay-themed art and artifacts. Culturally satisfied, Charlie makes a pit-stop at bar Le Raidd which causes him to really get his hunger on, so he's off to learn the fine art of French cooking. Mastering the culinary arts, he stops by a local restaurant for the world's most decadent chocolate cake. To burn off all of those calories, it's time to party the night away with a bar tour culminating in a visit to Queen, Paris' oldest gay dance club located centrally on the Avenue de Champs Elysses. Gay Paris indeed!

From there we hear and see what makes Amsterdam's gay pride unique: it's held on barges floating down the numerous canals that ring the city. After a bit of shopping that includes Charlie being fit for leather chaps, it's time to experience an uber-fab restaurant at SupperClub - a restaurant with a rather unusual washroom set-up. Finally, Charlie hits Amsterdam's bar-scene, which proves that there is something for just about every kind of queer taste in this world class city.

The next day it's time for some serious R&R at the Maya Talum Resort And Spa where Charlie gets a mud massage, a special Mayan treatment. Then he walks a tight-rope, jumps off the cliff of courage, and swims with the dolphins at Xel-Ha, an ecological water theme park. Afterwards, it's time for a shot of tequila with Patrick and Paco of the Hotel Casazul, followed by a lap dance at Club Deseos, some shopping in Playa del Carmen, and some Mayan cuisine at Yaxche.
