I’m not yet a senior, but I wanted to offer something new, so in this article I’m going to try and give you my opinion on Quintonic the senior dating site.
Quintonic.fr how does it work?
Quintonic, as I told you above, is a site dedicated to the senior community, in other words those over 45.
Launched in 2011 by the company Neteden, Quintonic has been talked about a lot and several media such as France 2 and L’indépendant have said a lot of good things about it.
The main purpose of the site is to bring together members of the community around different events, also called friendly outings.
Activity groups are therefore offered, which you can join, the main ones being the regions, departments or large cities!
As I write these few lines Quintonic has just over 342,000 members from all over France, offering nearly 50,000 activities!

Registration & Login on Quintonic fr!
Upon registration we are invited to fill out our profile, but for once we are not forced to do so and a “Fill in later” option is available! Although when you join a site like that it’s not for nothing and the profile is therefore necessary, you don’t necessarily have the time or the desire to do it straight away, and so Quintonic understands that!
The site presents itself more like a social network than a real dating site. I mean that once connected to Quintonic, we don’t have this feeling of confinement, of being here only to meet people etc. So we are more on the line of sharing!
Small overview of the Quintonic interface.
In terms of tools, the site again provides and in addition to the points mentioned previously (profile, outings, etc.) it offers features such as “Virtual Gifts” or even “Instant Meetings”, a kind of game like on Badoo Or Tinder.
Overview of the meeting moment
Finally, as I said above, the site is more focused on a social network, and therefore responds to the demand of seniors in terms of entertainment by offering Quintonic members Games, but also Good Deals or even their magazines !
Friendly senior meetings throughout France
Quintonic is available throughout France, and like On Va Sortir, which is more general and not aimed solely or specifically at seniors, Quintonic therefore has its small community everywhere. I would like to point out that it is mainly in large cities like Paris, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Lyon, Nantes, etc.
If you live in a small village or town, don’t worry you will also find people, you will just have to broaden your searches a little. In other words, if you live near Cannes or Nice, you will need to indicate these cities in your profile and look for senior meetings there!
Quintonic, is it free or paid?
The Quintonic dating site is unfortunately not free. It is therefore part of the category of paid sites. Well, almost, since it is based on the freenium model, that is to say that only part of it is paid.
Well, we are on a partially free dating site, so you will need a subscription. To my great surprise, I noticed that the Quitnonic site, or at least access to certain services, is subject to Subscription for both men and women!
Even women will then have to pay and take out a subscription on Quintonic, and will not have any advantage or free access like some other sites can do!
Subscription Rates and Prices
On the other hand, we find very reasonable prices, since the subscription for one month is €9.90 and that of six months at €7.90/month, making a total of €47.70. (Automatic subscription renewal!)
As for the advantages and since an image is worth more than a long speech, I will let you enlarge the image above to discover them. Note that like everywhere, who says subscription, means termination at a given time. Well yes, when you have found something that suits you or you are fed up with the site, you may want to delete your account!
But before deleting your Quintonic account, if you have a subscription and it is in progress you will need to cancel it. It is important to cancel the subscription before requesting account deletion, otherwise it could result in continued debits, and you may not want to be debited!
+ The Pluses: my opinion on the advantages!
- When registering, young people are directly refused, the form only offers registration to those over 45, in other words to those born before 1971!
- Without being registered we can consult the list of members and activities, which gives us an idea of what is happening and what is happening near us!
- The interface is really clean, and I would even say suitable for seniors. Easier to use and more readable!
- The community of over 340,000 members seems very active!
- Many activities all over France.
- The site has many tools and features that are more than interesting. As a bonus quality entertainment (Blog, Games etc.)
- The subscription, although also for women, remains very accessible!
– Cons: my opinion on the cons!
- The site is paid for women.. We were used to the opposite.
- The site highlights friendly relationships, for romantic relationships you will therefore have to play it nice or look elsewhere.
- If the search allows you to find someone very close to home, outings and groups are confined to large cities.
- In the same way, I did not see any group by center of interest, age group, type of activity (free/paid) for example, or anything else of the sort.
Opinion and Review on Quintonic
Already I find that the name of the site is really well chosen! We have a mixture of the word quinquagenarian and tonic. Which explains in a single word what we can find on the site and, above all, do there! Honestly, I love it and I congratulate the site team who found its name very well!
I must admit that I was not necessarily comfortable going to Quintonic, because it made me feel old during this test.
But in the end I wasn’t disappointed and when I’m old enough, I think it’s a community I would happily join. And by then it will have grown even more, and the site I think has evolved even more!
Quintonic is, for less, a very good site, which above all emphasizes friendly relations. Affinities are not excluded or prohibited, but this is not the primary purpose of the site.
Quintonic.fr remains accessible in terms of prices, I just regret the subscription for women, but you can’t have everything. A quality site with interesting content & features coupled with an inexpensive subscription and offered for women..
In any case, and to conclude, I would recommend this site to those around me and more particularly to the senior friends I know because it is a very good site.
What happened to Quintonic? The favorite activity directory for seniors
Since the release of our Quintonic review, some water has passed under the bridge. The internal activities of the company which manages the website have increased considerably over the last six years. However, the change has not only happened internally since it is possible to find much more activity to be carried out between seniors than at the start. With the rise of the Internet in recent years, seniors have also become interested in this New World and we manage to find various activities to keep them busy now that most of them are retired.
As a reminder, Quintonic is a directory of activities for seniors — people who are over 50 years old. The latter allows them to find an activity quickly and close to home in order to use the car as little as possible. As we said previously, things have progressed well and so have site visits. In fact, the site has managed to quadruple its visits in the space of a few years. This therefore has a direct impact on the activities being created, those in progress and on the various conversations on the site. In addition, it is constantly attracting new seniors.
Indeed, the adults of yesteryear are the seniors of today and it will be like that all the time. People were forced (positively) to learn how to use the internet. The adults who were apprentices are doing wonderfully now. This allows us to create a lot more activity in order to bring each senior together for various activities.
What activities are available now on Quintonic?
As we have already written, activities for seniors have been much more numerous since its creation. You will be able to find activities there such as sewing workshops, theater classes, gatherings for a drink or dinner with seniors during a themed evening in a restaurant or at the organizer’s home, relaxation moments in a SPA, or even visits to cultural places.
The activities are not only reserved for active seniors from large cities, seniors will also be able to enjoy time in smaller regions during a beautiful hike. Unconditional fans of lotto, rifles or quines will also be able to gather during an event in a town more or less close to their place of residence.
How does the Quintonic site work?
This type of site has already existed for many years, but Quintonic is still the favorite activity site for seniors and for good reason, it is easy to use. Following your registration, you will then be able to consult the different activities available near you. This way, you will know if there is an activity coming up whether you live in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, or in smaller cities. This getaway will also allow you to go on vacation, the opportunity to go as a couple and carry out activities as an active and proud senior.
Creating an account is completely free, so if you feel like an activity organizer, you can do that too. This creation step is extraordinarily easy, you will have to fill in the description of the activity, the type of activity and lots of other little information which will allow other seniors to have More details. Is there an age limit for registering with Quintonic? Yes, and no at the same time! We consider a senior from the age of 45, which is why you will be able to find people younger than you, especially if you still have your 55 teeth or even your 65 teeth.
In 2024, with the COVID pandemic, people were forced to stay at home. Certain activities can be carried out without a Health Pass or Vaccination Pass given that you will be in a place with low traffic. However, if the activity takes place in a public place such as a bar, a restaurant, a museum, or a cinema hall, you will be forced to present white paste and present this precious sesame to the reception. Many activities for seniors await you, do not hesitate to register as these activities have a validity date.
And what do you think of Quintonic? If you had to give it a score out of 10?
