When I see the GTG threads I always wish I could be there. Well I'm going to be there this month and I don't see any GTG threads.

Anyone?

Only in my mind....we are going to Rome this year but I just finished "The House I Loved" by Tatiana de Rosnay and it makes me miss Paris! I hope you can find a group to celebrate with!

ruedebuci

Thanks denisea.

So no one?

My husband and I leave for Paris on June 27th. Upon our arrival to Paris, we are hoping on a train to Caen. We are bsck in Paris on July 7th.

We're presently in the Dordogne and will be in Paris June 22nd to the 29th, staying in the 5th near Shakespeare and Company.

I have Moveable Feast on my bedside table but haven't started it yet.

AGM_Cape_Cod

moolyn, our trip is the same as yours-Dordogne and then Paris. Where are you staying in the Dordogne?

moolyn

We have a house exchange near Les Milandes. Where are you?

AGM_Cape_Cod

We have taken a gite on D57 between Sarlat and Beynac. We got GPS coordinates rather than a street address. Should be interesting to find it our first day.

ruedebuci---my adult daughter and I will be in Paris from June 20-28, and would love to meet up with you...maybe for Thai ?!

I had noticed your thread for a few days and could not have dreamt I'd be posting on it, yet here I am. We just booked our flights 2 hours ago! It's all quite crazy---never in my wildest imagination would we have planned a Paris trip on 1 week's notice.

Our Paris trip last summer was fantastic, but ended in a somewhat unsatisfying manner (spending our next-to-last full day queued up at Versalles, since DD had not been before). This trip, it's all about chilling, taking each day as it comes, and just enjoying Paris.

Guessing you'll be staying in the 6th ? We'd be glad to meet you there or anywhere, if our dates coincide.

moolyn

AGM, that's close to where we are. When do you arrive? We leave June 20th for the Loire then Paris.

AGM_Cape_Cod

We will miss you-arriving on Sunday the 24th. Sorry to miss you. Then going to Paris on the 30th. We are curious about boulangeries for breakfast or cafe since my DH prefers the cafe creme to what he could make himself. Any suggestions for petite dejeuner?

moolyn

So sorry to miss you and I can't recommend a place for petite dejeuner as I'm a celiac and always eat breakfast at home. Pas de pain pour moi!

If you're at the south end of the D57, near the river, the boulangerie on the east side beside the river in Castelnaud is highly regarded. My husband gets his baguettes there.

lifes2short sure I'd like to try the Thai place rec'd on the other thread I posted http://www.lesrestos.com/fiche-resta...HAI/1025429735

I leave Friday! Staying for 10 days. I have nothing planned except a list of restos I want to try or return to.

I'm staying in Paris the whole time because that is how I roll. People keep asking me if I'm going anywhere else, nope.

Let me know which days are good for you.

ruedebuci

Just for fun, here is my list of restos:

new (for me):
Ze Kichen Galerie
Cafe Constant
Les Ombres
Le Dali
Entrecote
Le Chiberta
L'Obe
Le Grand Colbert
Palace Thai

must return to:
Les Bouquinistes
L'Hotel

I need to add a Mexican resto to this list. Any rec's?

Also if anyone has a favorite resto they go to for steak with bearnaise sauce I'm all ears.

rue...Thai Palace sounds great to us. If DD has her way, we'll be in the 7th as often as possible anyway (she's an ET addict !) Any night between June 21 and 27 (inclusive) would work for us. We can stay in touch via Fodor's to firm up plans, or via email if you prefer.

Like you, I have always wanted to join a Fodor's GTG, especially in Paris !
I also am of the same mind as you when it comes to just hanging in Paris--that's how we roll, too, at least for this trip.

Have a safe, pleasant flight !

How come I can't find the private message function on this board?

life2short I have no way to contact you. I leave in about 1.5 hours.

Due to a bad experience, I can not post any private details on this public board. Sorry.

kerouac

There is no private message function on this board. You must rendezvous on another board to send private messages.

lifes2short

rue...hope you're enjoying your flight. No worries about needing to send PM's. I don't care to broadcast my email address either, so I still think we can make this work by using Fodor's. OR, if you are on TA, simply post a note on this thread to that effect, and I will post my TA screenname, so that you can PM me there. (I don't do facebook.)

Since my DD and I do not arrive till Weds.6/20, we'll defer to you to pick day and time for meeting at Thai Palace. or wherever !

ruedebuci

Back at home now, sorry I missed you lifes2short!
