Paris gtg in October?
I was thinking it might be fun to have a gtg in Paris when DH and I are there this October. I've been to gtg's in WDC, Philly, NY and Boston, but never overseas. I was thinking October 13 for dinner because I've been talking to another Fodorite who will be there then as well, but nothing is set in stone for either of us yet. It's hard to make plans this far in advance, but I'm trying!
Anyone in Paris, interested and available that night/week?

Same here - will miss you by a week.
Just working on possibly leading a small, very fun group on a very personal culinary tour of the City of Light; lots of little out of the way bistros and restaurants helmed by rising chefs, local bars with live music and tasty nibbles, cooking schools, wine and cheese events, markets, a visit to Epernay and several 'pick-what-you-want' fun things to do in Paris. Exciting !

AGM-Cape-Cod ------We'll be in Paris from 9/13 to 9/18.
If you are interested, we are planning to lunch at Le Comptoir on Wed. 9/14 , after reading all your excellent reports.
We have passed this restaurant so many times but never could get in----is it possible to make a reservation?
Anyone else interested?

If you mean Le Comptoir that's near Metro Odeon, there are no reservations available except for the gourmet tasting menu at dinner. Reservations for that are hard to come by, guests staying at the hotel that owns the restaurant have first dibs.
I eat here on a regular basis - for lunch, you arrive by noon, the place fills up fast, then you stand in line until enough people leave. This won't be a good place for more than 4 people, I'm afraid, since you can't count on more than that leaving at once.
The seafood restaurant next door is owned by the same outfit, but is standing room only, behind the plastic curtain.
But there are several nice restaurants right in this same area - Hibou, Marco Polo, Les Editeurs...might be more than some are willing to pay - about 50 EU for lunch with wine, maybe more.

I'm back and know our plans now. If anyone is interested in a get together on either Tuesday October 11th or Friday October 14 we would love to get together. It would be nice if anyone had an idea of where to meet because I really don't, although we get there Monday so if I see a restaurant I could ask if they take reservations. If it's a small group we could probably find some cafe or brasserie and just meet there as well. Let's start with the date and see if people are interested in either of those days and take it from there. Paris here we come!
