My BW (Beautiful Wife) & I will be Paris on the above dates, effectively October 22-27. We will be staying in the Marais, near the Hotel de Ville. Anybody interested in a GTG for coffee, drinks or lunch?

Hi Doug!

My HH (handsome husband!), in-laws and I will be there also, same dates, and staying in the Marais! Will PM you for specifics. Any one else?

Casole

well you are coming to my backyard so maybe i will find the time to meet some ST again in Paris.
i know the 24th will be in Paris for sure as i have a gen assembly reunion in the evening so the daytime could be there earlier.

once you have a set date:i will confirm :
looking forward to meeting more ST France !

Hi Casole,

How's the 24th for you? - looks like it's best for pedmar.

Anybody else?

Hi Doug and Pedmar,

24th sounds good, will check w/my travelling companions to let you know for sure.

Casole

great!! once everybody confirms for the 24th then we can decide on lunch and where.

thanks for the 24th not that i do not go to Paris often heh heh... !

Hello again,

The 24th is fine for us. We had to move a couple of meetings around but, just kidding....actually I really just wanted to make sure they were OK with meeting my online slowtrav buddies! It is a little hard to explain at first, "um, do you want to meet some people I know from the internet?"

So just name the time and place.

Don't miss Ménilmontant artists' Open Days, 20-23 October

Paris is so diverse depends what you like
A) do you want just a place for drinks and chat
Footsie's
B) a place to drink but some food and TV screens
O'Sullivans
C)a place just to talk lightly and have a great meal Brasserie Opera Madeleine
D) a succulent place to indulge in a fine view with good food
Altitude 95
E) a fancy French restaraunt to show off
Cafe de la ¨Paix
F) any other questions?suggestions? ideas?

I am all ears.

Definitely not B, no TV screens! I get enough of that at home

I think we are more inclined to some drinks and chat, so A sounds like a good plan to me. How about you Mr and Mrs. P?

Hi Casole,

I agree about the TV screens. I'm not sure if Footsie's "gimmick" appeals to me.

I've been looking at Café des Musées, 49, Rue de Turenne - in the Marais, about equidistant from Place des Vosges & the Picasso Museum. Any opinions?

Hi Doug,

The Cafe des Musees sounds perfect, esp location. I don't know anything about Footsie's, other than I thought it was an odd name! If it works for Pedmar, it works for us!

The Cafe des Musees that is...

well as you are the visitors;;; i go anywhere to meet you
but cafe de musées only has one recoms on my site for Paris and i do post there;
http://www.fra.cityvox.fr/bars-et-boites_paris/cafe-des-musees_5112/Avis-Lieu

Footsie's is near place vendome and it more cozy parisien small; the concept is like a stock exchange on a screen you order drinks as the prices go up and down so you pick the one that went down:its a unique concept.with 22 recomms!!!
http://www.fra.cityvox.fr/bars-et-boites_paris/footsie_34456/Profil-Lieu

so :you tell me? how about Au Trappiste 4 rue st denis metro RER chatelet i go there often with friends great monks bar excellent beer

you can go thru the site and choose; you can change the language to english but the recomms are local in french

Hi all,

Now I get it, FTSE's, like the exchange! That does sound fun. The thing I like about Doug's suggestion is it is on the street we are staying on, therefore we are pretty much guaranteed not to get lost finding it! That is a plus.

Casole

P.S. I'm going to put my trip reports in a signature at some point soon, so you can take a peek if you like. I read yours Doug and loved them! And I visited your site too Pedmar, 49 countries is it? Wow!

yes 49 and counting.thank you
how can you get lost at place vendome? ja ja ja nahh its easy.
heck au trappiste is good too overlooking the cat notre dame,near les halles shopping center;and off rue de rivoli::::

like i say at first; Paris is very varied tought to decide heh?

Hi pedmar & casole,

I've been away for a couple of days. So, where are we going to meet? I'm not enthusisatic about a bar - would prefer a late-morning meeting with the option of lunch OR a 4-5:00 pm meeting over a bottle of wine.

Hi,

We think 4-5 over some wine sounds perfect. We're not big into bars/beer either, so Pedmar, if you want to plan for 4 PM at Cafe des Musees I think that would work best for the six of us.

Looking forward to it!

ok no problem like i say you are the visitors
so Café des Musées at 49 rue turenne metro saint paul line 1 or metro chemin-vert line 8
tel of café is 01 42 72 96 17.
however at that time i can only go to meet you since my wife is still working. it will be good for me as I have a general assembly meeting of the American University Clubs in Paris at 7pm.so i am planning not to have any work that whole day. i am a consultant ERP accounting systems, and I am now near Rambouillet west of Paris.

also it will be good to have a code like pedmar or some description before we arrive like saying slow travel group at the door.

My mother in law and I will put our slowtrav luggage tags on our purses!

i knew someone will be unique;thanks
