Le Bossuet is a sauna and libertine club on the Rue du Jardin des Plantes in central Dijon, and it runs two audiences under one roof: its own banner reads sauna, libertine club and gay, and it keeps a separate section and timetable for each. Its own copy describes an elegant, discreet setting for consenting adults, with themed evenings, low light and spaces built for comfort and privacy.

The men-only gay sessions run in the daytime: Monday to Wednesday and Friday and Saturday from 12:00 to 18:45, Sunday from 13:00 to 19:45, and public holidays from 13:00 to 18:45, with a reduced rate late in the afternoon and for under-25s on production of original ID. The libertine timetable lives on a page of the club's own site that its menu builds in the browser and that could not be read from outside it - ask the club or open the site directly rather than trusting a third-party listing for it.

The house rules are firmly stated. A shirt, long or short sleeved, is obligatory for single men every evening, with jeans or town trousers; tracksuits, caps, t-shirts and sportswear are refused. Management reserves the right of admission depending on how many men are already inside, and refuses anyone intoxicated. Backpacks are checked at reception and suspicious bottles or flasks are opened, with refusal meaning no entry. Prices are on the club's own pages and are not quoted here.
