Paris GTG in late September
O.K., my countdown clock shows that I still have 94 days, 14 hours and 20-something minutes before we leave for Paris, but I can't wait any longer!!
My sister and I will be in the City of Light from Wednesday, September 24th until our departure on Tuesday, September 30th, and I want to start the ball rolling for a Fodors GTG. On my last trip, I had the pleasure of meeting and enjoying drinks and dinner with Tod and ggnga. It was one of the highlights of my trip!
So, who else will be in Paris on these dates and would like to get together? The more, the merrier!

Hi Gina!
I hope a lot of good folk here will make a date for a GTG in Paris!
We really enjoyed our evening a month ago now ( boo hoo!) with ggnga & AyQuehago at 'Insulaire.
I am sure G will make it - she has a little surprise for you - from me!
At last my trip report on Paris is finished with photos and I will be making an attempt on our UK part of the holiday, which I know you are anxious to hear about - patience dear friend!
Good luck for the GTG!

Thanks, tod! I'm leaving tomorrow, so won't be checking back in until next weekend, but I hope we get a nice group together too.
By the way, be sure to wish your husband a happy birthday from me on Monday as we both celebrate our day on different continents!

janyceh and mariebut, I've been gone on vacation so haven't checked in here lately, but was delighted to see your posts! We would definitely like to meet up with you both for drinks and/or dinner.
To accommodate all of us, it looks like the evening of the 25th or 26th would work best. What do you think?
Anyone else care to join us?

Wow, guys, this is so cool! Looks like we may have a nice size group.
Since mariebut doesn't arrive until the 25th, how about we try for lunch on the 26th as suggested by Jan? If that will work for everyone, all we have to do is pick a location. Anyone have a preference?
I'm still hoping to hear from ggnga, who I think is planning to join us. She's presently living in Paris and may have some ideas.

Hi Gina!
Although I will not (Unfortunately!) be at your GTG - I do recommend lunch at Le Vin Sobre in the 5th! It may be a bit of a splurge @ around 25euros for two courses but the food and service is friendly and it is your typical French Bistro/Cafe` with the menu on a blackboard. Most unusual is they serve their OWN wine!
The area around there is lovely.
Even if you don't make it for the GTG do try and take your sister there - Also has a second restaurant/ branch - in the 7th.

I'm also relatively new to posting. What does GTG represent? I will be in Paris from the 20th-27th. I'd like to meet for lunch so please let me know what venue you choose. We leave the States on the 30 of July and are ending our trip just after the week in Paris. In fact, husband is leaving me in Paris with friends and credit cards, probably big mistake, so I will be with friends. Thanks!
