There used to be a great curry house behind the James Joyce, I wonder is it still there?

Is the James Joyce gone now?

Ah, he’s dead a long time now Fagan.

It was open in June. Being redeveloped.

The Rodin museum on Rue de Varenne is worth a visit.

[Tassotti]

Is O’Reillys still going lads? they do a lovely fish and chips, if you are not into that foreign muck

There’s a nice little bistro on the Avenue de La Grande Armee at the Arc de Triomphe end if you want a decent steak and frites.

There’s a nice little bistro in Paris

You’re a young fellow so socialise in the Latin Quarter. It’s full of students. Start at the top of Rue Mouffetard and work your way down.

First time you get to a subway station buy a carnet a Dix tickets. These works for the bus and the subway. Hop on random buses and just take the city in.

Visit the catacombs and take a trip on the Seine on a boat.

If you’ve any interest in music visit Croco Discs.

Sit in a parc and watch the world go by, the Jardin de Luxembourg and the Botanical gardens are good for this.

Thanks Fagan. Is the Seine on a boat pricey? Last time I went I saw the Mona Lisa. An incredible disappointment.

Sure no wonder it was disappointing if you were trying to see it from a boat

As one of the lads said at the euros. This isn’t a breakfast it’s just fucking bread.

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

Ah lovely

[balbec]

Try again

[backinatracksuit]

Try what again Captain Fucking Obvious,
What kind of chump heads off to Paris dreaming of eating steak and chips anyway.

Is there a nice curry to be had in Dehli?

[anon7035031]

steak-frites

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

Mona Lisa is underwhelming. Might as well be at home looking out a triple glazed window.

Go see the Raft of the Medusa nearby. You may recognise it from the cover of a Poges album.

[balbec]

There is actually. I was there this week.

[backinatracksuit]

Nice one, next time I’m off to Dehli you can tell me what street its on so, I’m still smirking at your first post though, like somebody going to take a recommendation of a ‘nice little bistro’ in fucking Paris off a lad who’s lived his life between Kilmallock and Poland, you honestly couldn’t even make that one up

When I was going to the Arc at longchamps every year, I used to stay at the Hyatt across from the James Joyce, top class. There was a bar around 35 storeys up. On Arc Saturday, after a feed of pints in the james joyce and a Indian meal in that restaurant behind it I mentioned, I used to go up for a few cocktails. It was a little tradition of mine, you could get a seat and sit look out over the Eiffel Tower, it was very magical. The year Finsceal Beo was running in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches the next day, I had a very special experience with a few roasters that were over with Michael Ryan the owner

[backinatracksuit]

That’s a nice story, it’s almost believable even.

[anon7035031]

You have truly lived life to the max pal, fuck the begrudgers.

[Tassotti]

The thing is, I done it on my own terms.
