[eaststand85]

sorry if this has been posted already, but has a meet-up spot been organised. heard some chat on ybig about lads drinking and playing footy under the eiffel tower for a bit, but not sure when?

i'll be at the Coolin out of loyalty.

There was another thread alright but hasn't been updated in a little while (http://foot.ie/forums/showthread.php?t=126288&page=2). Cans under the Eiffel Tower from 2pm seems to be the feeling.

Lads tehre was way more out along place de glichy the last time raiding the off licenses and drinking on teh streets, i dont think you could get a better st really for it.

We're staying in Peace and Love Hostel on Rue La Fayette near Gare du Nord.

I'm thinking we check in then get the metro down to Pigalle or Place de Clichy for a few before heading back up to the match. I don't know Paris that well; I'm wondering if where we're staying is safe enough etc?

Make sure you tidy up your rubbish after you....otherwise you won't be able to see the poodle sh!t before you tread in it.

To be honest it's not the best part of town but it's generally safe. Most places in Paris are - just don't do anything stupid and look after yourself on the way home.

Last time in Paris we went to o sullivans on the night before the match ,the place was packed as you would expect and it was full of drunken persons,so me and me mates found a small bar about 10mins away ,filled it up and drank for haltf the price.great craic .There`s plenty of places to drink inParis .We found a lovely little place near the stadium ,great food as well.Suited our needs , will head for the tower but at some stage will need to fuel the tummy ,pick the right restaurant nd you won`t get ripped off.

Paul I have lived in France I know what they have. And you can certainly get good steak in Paris without spending an arm and a leg. The Steak hache is just like a burger really, minced beef. Not a big fan of horse either. Lésgargot and frogs legs are grand though. French cooking is top notch and you do not have to pay and arm and a leg to get it either.
